Hi all,
today I experienced a serious problem (unfortunately caused by myself). My \-dir ran full and just a warning let me safe my inst., I think so.
What did I do:
1) I wanted to feed a SD card for a raspi3 with an image by dd
. Unfortunately the instruction I followed mixed up X against Y in the command dd bs=4M if=X of=Y
.
Obviously nothing happened, although something was done or written, as per my impression.
The *.img herefore was prepared in place at /~
and the remain was a "\dev\sdd"
.
The command finished and when trying to boot up that sd in the raspi, i saw, that something went wrong, as the old image booted up, so obviously nothing had been written on.
2) So next try: I corrected the bs=4M ...
statement by changing X against Y.
First, everything seemed running fine, but then an alert showed up, that \ is filled up to 96%.
Getting nervous, I brought that to interrupting and started to kill older kernels (still by kernel-remover on gui). However normally a confirmation of a kill of an older kernel needs around 10 s, here it just came back instantly. At the end I saw, that no kernels were deleted.
3) Now I can still boot up, but have a \var
and a \usr
each bigger than 7 GB.
Any hints where to look in the subdirs or what to delete?
Thanks!
