[ubuntu] Mount folder effecting the size of my "Filesystem"

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi, I am having a Low Disk error, saying my file system is low. I ran a Disk Usage Analazyer on the file system and it has pleaty of space in the primary directories. What is showing up in red is 2 of my three drive I have automatically mounting on boot. The mounted drives are 1 and 2 TB and are formatted to ntfs. My filesystem is only 250gb, and the space I have used in the mounted drive is about the same amount(200gb or so), this is leading me to believe the used space I have on the mounted drives are somehow adding together and subtracting from the filesystem. Has anyone had a simular is (Hardware)

Stories similar to [ubuntu] Mount folder effecting the size of my "Filesystem"

I have my 305 GB Filesystem mounted but while installing MinecraftServer.exe, my laptop said I didn't have enough room on my disk. I then went to disk usage analyser and looked at how much space I had. I had about 299 Gigs remaining. I already have the drive mounted and I have gParted but I can't partition my /dev/sda7 to a bigger size.

In Nautilus, I can easily see the physical size (total capacity, free space, used space) of any mounted disk, e.g.

wrong disk usage report on / 44 weeks 10 hours ago

I asked this on stackoverflow, but maybe here is a better place.

On my ubuntu 11.10, /dev/sda3 (150GB) is mounted on / and /dev/sda1 (80GB) is mounted on /home. My entire disk has 250GB and the system is reporting I am running out of disk space.

Hi, when i first installed ubuntu(dual boot win 7), i partitioned it to /boot / and /home. After installing ubuntu for a few months, one of my filesystem /dev/sda7 which is mounted on / is running out of space.

I have an HPUX 11.31 system which is configured with hardware RAID 5 across 4x300GB drives. I allocated all but 100GB of space when building the system, but put only 20GB into /usr. Today, I'm told that an application owner needs more space on /usr.

There's 100GB of unallocated disk space and I've run into issues trying to unmount /usr because processes are running.

When I run the command df -h on my new Ubuntu linux VPS I get the following:

# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hdv1 466G 33G 434G 7% / none 16M 0 16M 0% /tmp

The VPS should only have 5Gb of disk space but df reports 466Gb. How can I view the correct amount of disk space?

Like the title says; As soon as I delete something (from my filesystem, home folder or any folder for that matter), the space immidately gets filled with data and my availble/free disk space goes back to 0 bytes IMMIDATELY!!

I have a logical volume that is 2.44 TB in size which is mounted. I use it to store movies and TV shows for sharing on the home network. However, all of a sudden the system now gives the error: No space left on device, when trying to copy more data over.

I have a 2TB Western external HDD. Its original filesystem was NTFS but I formatted it to EXT4. I had no problem in Linux; But today after I mounted it using ext2fsd in a windows box, I cant mount it in linux anymore! The drive had no partition but after that windows mount Disk Utility Shows it has a 1KB partition and 2TB unallocated space!!! My Data are not corrupted (I still can view my files us
