I keep getting these emails on storage, but I can not find the fix
Free storage space is getting low on the following drive(s) of your system:
/dev/mapper/SangomaVG-root is 82% full
However, I do not store any voicemails, and I have never had an issue before. Now I am getting these every hour. I have a 80 gig partition and 62G is for Sangoma-root and 12 g is available.
I am a ovice so I need help how to clean this up and clear it. I tried changig and deleting backups, but that doesn’t seem to work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
You’ll need to connect to the console through an SSH session or if it’s a physical server connect a keyboard and mouse to it.
Install ncdu by running yum install ncdu -y
Once ncdu is installed run ncdu / from the command line. That should enumerate all the folders on your system and sort them by the biggest first. You should be able to drill down and see what’s using up the space.
This is ncdu if you are curious to learn before you install it: NCurses Disk Usage
When I attempted to remove the files, I was told I can’t remove because these are directories. i went to one of the directories and inside there were two files vmcore vmcore-dmesg.txt
So not sure why the system is creating these strange directories in /var/crash
We don’t know why your system was repeatedly crashing, but looking at vmcore-dmesg.txt may tell you enough, if it’s a hardware problem, corrupted file, etc.
You can remove a directory (and the two files in it) with rm -r
