UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Unfortunatly this server is not using LVM

A question: what is your filesystem layout? => df -k (or what most appropriate...)
Because it may be a silly question but if /var is a filesystem how come in your first post I see no lost+found? (maybe there but Im blind or dead tired...)

Since you have no LVM and dont want to reinstall the only alternatives is moving data elsewhere, so what other filesystem do you have? with how much space (free) and can you create a new one?

# df -k
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 6190692 2724732 3151488 47% /
/dev/sda2 101105 16715 79169 18% /boot
none 1037368 0 1037368 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda8 56878816 47748376 6241152 89% /home
/dev/sda7 1035660 34520 948532 4% /tmp
/dev/sda5 4127076 3356228 561204 86% /var

I see home is almost at 90% but we have a script that trims out photos out of the system so that should run tonight hopefully. After that runs our home usually drops to around 70%

I would recommend adding another drive.

Ok You havent answered to does lost+found existence on /var... (can be handy you know...)
in /var do a du -sk *

Lets see what we can move out until you get new disks configured...
(And you know LVM is a good thing to have when it comes to server administration...)

Would it be safe to delete webalizer.current file?
would it mess up my stats? The file is very big and taking up space in /var

Code:

-rw-r--r--  1 root root 5749656 Sep 15 04:03 /var/www/usage/webalizer.current
