You really care about the entry in red above.
Best you post your entire mysql.cnf file for us to review. Then, I can better tell you exactly what is going on and how to fix your problem
In parallel let me help you to look for the files that fill your / file system.
Your post#11 explains some things. (In your post#1 you said that "df -h" gave output for "/" only. That was misleading.)
Can you shortly umount the /mnt/backup and look for files? Such files are invisible when mounted.
Code:
umount /mnt/backup
ls -lah /mnt/backup
du -sh /mnt/backup
mount /mnt/backup
(Just seeing that Peasant has the same idea in post#13.)

Following up on my request to post your mysql.cnf file.... take a look at this example:
Code:
just_a_mysql_server:/var/lib/mysql# ls -l
total 254144
-rw-r----- 1 mysql mysql 56 Sep 5 2018 auto.cnf
-rw-r----- 1 mysql mysql 4134 Jul 19 20:24 ib_buffer_pool
-rw-r----- 1 mysql mysql 79691776 Aug 27 04:26 ibdata1
-rw-r----- 1 mysql mysql 50331648 Aug 27 04:26 ib_logfile0
-rw-r----- 1 mysql mysql 50331648 Jun 18 03:07 ib_logfile1
-rw-r----- 1 mysql mysql 79691776 Aug 27 04:29 ibtmp1
Note the HUGE binary log files above:
Quote:
The file ibdata1 is the system tablespace for the InnoDB infrastructure.
It contains several classes for information vital for InnoDB
....
But before we can fully analyze and create a solution for you (which I think is very easy to do, BTW), we need to see your mysql.cnf file
here is my.cnf, it is shorter than your example, but I guess the initial set up was to leave a lot as a default:
Code:
less /etc/my.cnf
[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
user=mysql
port=3306
bind-address=0.0.0.0
# Disabling symbolic-links is recommended to prevent assorted security risks
symbolic-links=0
[mysqld_safe]
log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
/var/lib/mysql didn't have any huge files:
Code:
ls -lh
total 29M
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 18M Aug 21 03:15 ibdata1
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 5.0M Aug 27 07:21 ib_logfile0
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 5.0M Aug 27 07:21 ib_logfile1

I was about to be walked through extending ext4 partition as a suggestion from one of the forums - which would've worked too (if done correctly), but ....
Yeah, I would not have done the "extend the root partition" approach. It would work but it is suboptimal.
It would be better to create a new partition for the mysql data and move it off the root partition. I try to keep as much user data, dumps and backups off the root partition as I can, generally speaking.
You might still consider doing this, as you are still have your main apps data directory on your root partition.
My suggestion to you, after you got mysqld running again on the (temp) /home partition, was to ask you to create a new partition for your db data. Normally I call this, not surprisingly:
Code:
/data
Anyway, you are well on your way now. Well done.
