Full root directory

I`ve experienced full root directory

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda4              32G   32G     0 100% /
none                 1013M     0 1013M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda3              38G   31G  4.7G  87% /home

root / #  du -m --max-depth=1
1       ./lost+found
201     ./var
1399    ./opt
1       ./media
15      ./srv
5435    ./usr
1       ./dev
14      ./sbin
5       ./bin
31306   ./home
0       ./sys
73      ./lib
8       ./boot
8       ./root
1       ./tmp
0       ./proc
33      ./etc

I`m confused /home dir is on the other partition, so why / became full (~7GB of taken space is not 32GB)?

I think that my last screw-up with chmod on / caused this.

Re: Full root directory

umount /home once (kill X before) and check its content - perhaps you copied some stuff there once - and now it's not visible due to the mount

Re: Full root directory

You`re right!
But actually this guilty overflooding directory was some /mnt subdir not listed above, because I interrupted du listing.
Thanks mate!
