I have a problem on my server.
When i try to start my server, it says that "there no left space on device"
If i execute the command "df", I see that on directory if full.
/dev/mapper/owegdc_vg-owegdc_logs_lv
10321208 9797004 0 100% /opt/application/owegdc/logs
When i get to the logs directory here what i see
ls -lrta
total 368

I tried things like 'lsof' but it didn't work...
Do you have an idea ?
Thx
You could just try something like
du | sort -h -r
That would list the directories on your disk, ordered by their size descending. The first directory in the output list is the biggest one.
Better, if you're looking for large single files instead of a directory, this answer on Unix & Linux gives useful information, especially this:
find . -type f | xargs du -h | sort -rn
The output is the same, but it lists files instead of dirs.
