If you get any error like below
- fwrite(): write of 540 bytes failed with errno=28 No space left on device
- dev/vda1 is 100% Used
- No Space Left on Device
Follow this tutorial to fix the issue.
First check for available left and which partition is filled up by using the following command:
df -h
The output would look something like this:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /dev
tmpfs 395M 1.8M 393M 1% /run
/dev/vda1 25G 20G 4.4G 82% /
Then depending on the partition which is filling up you could use the following command to find any files that are larger than 500MB for example:
sudo find / -type f -size +500M -exec ls -lh {} \;
The output should look something like this:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.8G May 13 15:43 /home/user1/large-file.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.8G May 13 15:42 /home/bobby/large-file.txt
If there are no large files found then there is a chance that a lot of small files are using all this space, what you could do is use the ducommand which will get the file space usage:
du -h --max-depth=1 /
Repeat that for the respective subdirectories (e.g. du -hx --max-depth=1 /dev) until you reach those directories which contain much data.
Finally, you can delete that folder if that folder in not important by using below command
sudo rm -R /folder_name
