Fedora did a thing I hated in Windows. It collected enough system files to flood my root partition over the years of usage.
[root@hp ~]# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on rootfs 15G 14G 403M 98% / udev 996M 316K 996M 1% /dev tmpfs 1004M 1.5M 1003M 1% /dev/shm /dev/sda2 15G 14G 403M 98% / /dev/sda1 485M 166M 294M 37% /boot /dev/mapper/luks-6e55a54f-c3c6-45d9-99d3-a6d8015b2baa 97G 16G 76G 18% /home /dev/sda6 117G 105G 5.9G 95% /home/t1/media
Top space consumers are:
[root@hp ~]# du -sh /* 156M /boot 370M /lib 7.3G /usr 5.3G /var [root@hp ~]# du -sh /usr/* 550M /usr/bin 1.2G /usr/lib 1.9G /usr/lib64 3.4G /usr/share [root@hp ~]# du -sh /var/* 3.9G /var/cache 890M /var/lib 407M /var/spool [root@hp ~]# du -sh /var/cache/* 1.1G /var/cache/abrt-di 2.8G /var/cache/yum
A workaround:
[root@hp ~]# rm -rf /var/spool/abrt/* [root@hp ~]# rm -rf /var/cache/abrt-di/usr/lib/debug/.build-id/* [root@hp ~]# rm -rf /var/cache/yum/* [root@hp ~]# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on rootfs 15G 9.3G 4.5G 68% /
Enough for preupgrade now!
