I am new here …
I just installed a new nomadBSD ob usb stick. It did partitions automatically.
I tried to install something and got low space.
As I can see I have on / only 3.8 Gb and it is already full.
And all space goes to “home”
So it seems I can’t install any new app…
I must be wrong but what I do wrong?
ok I reinstalled it and trying to see.
by default / has 52 Mb free. So it is not expected to be used.
So it is not what I thought.
The problem appears when I tried to install mysql
ok here what happens:
By default:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/label/nomadroot 3,8G 3,5G 52M 99% / devfs 1,0K 1,0K 0B 100% /dev tmpfs 30G 16K 30G 0% /tmp tmpfs 30G 120K 30G 0% /var/log tmpfs 30G 128K 30G 0% /var/run procfs 4,0K 4,0K 0B 100% /proc /dev/label/nomadhome 55G 46M 50G 0% /home /dev/md0.uzip 6,8G 6,4G 443M 94% /unionfs/usr/local /dev/fuse 62G 6,8G 50G 12% /usr/local /dev/fuse 0B 0B 0B 100% /home/nomad/.gvfs
Then I installed openvpn, sublime, mysql-server
and I got this:
nomad@NomadBSD ~> df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/label/nomadroot 3,8G 3,5G 1,0M 100% / devfs 1,0K 1,0K 0B 100% /dev tmpfs 28G 172M 27G 1% /tmp tmpfs 27G 136K 27G 0% /var/log tmpfs 27G 136K 27G 0% /var/run procfs 4,0K 4,0K 0B 100% /proc /dev/label/nomadhome 55G 883M 50G 2% /home /dev/md0.uzip 6,8G 6,4G 443M 94% /unionfs/usr/local /dev/fuse 62G 7,7G 50G 13% /usr/local /dev/fuse 0B 0B 0B 100% /home/nomad/.gvfs
and when I run mysql:
nomad@NomadBSD ~> sudo service mysql-server start
/: write failed, filesystem is full
/usr.local.etc/rc.d/mysql-server: WARNING: failed precmd routine for mysql
Hi there @megaspy,
welcome to the forum.
It is not possible to change the partition size, however, you can move the directories which are using a lot of disk space to /home, and then create a symlink. E.g.:
# mkdir -p /home/var/db
# mv /var/db/mysql /home/var/db
# cd /var/db
# ln -s /home/var/db/mysql .
thank you. It worked.
I moved all /var to /home/var
except /var/run and /var/log
and it works.
Hello,
I use NomadBSD for office use (Thunderbird, Firefox) with USB SSD disk (250GB), it’s a very good product, good job !
Actually I have NomadBSD 1.3.2 (amd64) and filesystem is:
root@NomadBSD:/home/nomad # df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/label/nomadroot 3,9G 3,6G 14M 100% /
devfs 1,0K 1,0K 0B 100% /dev
tmpfs 5,6G 21M 5,6G 0% /tmp
tmpfs 5,6G 124K 5,6G 0% /var/log
procfs 4,0K 4,0K 0B 100% /proc
/dev/label/nomadhome.eli 216G 5,0G 194G 3% /private
/dev/md0.uzip 6,7G 6,2G 442M 94% /unionfs/usr/local
/dev/fuse 223G 12G 194G 6% /usr/local
/dev/fuse 0B 0B 0B 100% /tmp/nomad.5RYZKZ/gvfs
Do you have solution to get more free space (/dev/label/nomadroot), ex: uninstall package with pkg delete, reinstall with another option,…)
or
I can use symbolic links, which folder can be moved to /home without disturbing NomadBSD?
Thanks a lot
Hello BSD276 - based on MegaSpy’s last message, it looks like you can move all of /var to another place and make a symbolic link. It looks like you have plenty of space here:
/dev/label/nomadhome.eli 216G 5,0G 194G 3% /private
I think these commands should work:
cp -ri /var /private/
mv -i /var /var.original
ln -s /private/var /var
Delete the /var.original directory when everything is working.
Hello,
Thanks a lot Mario and good year.
