The rest seemed to be only my external hard
drives, so I killed it when it
appeared to be doing nothing else. However, I can try to let it run longer.
Continuing, having now let du command run
longer, here is what I get:
# du -sch /*
4.0K /afs
11M /bin
160M /boot
0 /dev
57M /etc
26G /home
0 /initrd.img
0 /initrd.img.old
576M /lib
4.0K /live-build
16K /lost+found

4.0K /mnt

91M /tmp
13G /usr
1.6G /var
0 /vmlinuz
0 /vmlinuz.old
4.5T total
Looks like something in /usr takes up most of the drive. So to continue our
investigation:
# du -sch /usr/*
644M /usr/bin
836K /usr/games
247M /usr/include
5.3G /usr/lib
144K /usr/local
45M /usr/sbin
6.1G /usr/share
157M /usr/src
13G total
- where I find that /usr/lib and /usr/share take up the most. I don't think
you really want to read the whole list for these folders. Thus here are the
items that take up the most space. Most look pretty innocuous:
1.6G /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
but in /usr/lib at the end I get
5.3G total
- but nothing else is more than a few kb or mb. The same thing happens when I
look in /usr/share; the biggest item is:
1.9G /usr/share/doc
- and nothing else takes up more than a few kb or mb, yet at the end I get:
6.1G total
