Sluggish system all the sudden
Posted by Grimnar on Sun 10 Dec 2006 at 15:46
Oh well. My debian server starts acting up, whenever connecting to it the system lags a lot.
Everything is sluggish. So I do a df -h and sure enough, my /dev/hda1 is full.
So I start my quest of finding files that are unused in the system.
Been working on dpkg -l to find some files that can be removed. But that is a pain in the ass on a slow interface.
Is there any other nice methods of finding unused files?
Or removing a whole lot of files with dpkg in one go?
Tried the find / -type f -size +20000k and so on.
/var/log = empty
/var/archive/apt/ = empty
Any other sure places to remove stuff?
