bvc Posted October 13, 2002 Report Share Posted October 13, 2002 That's it??? I installed about 60MB of apps and themes/icons ect..and an hour later when I booted, instead of having 500MB free..../ was 100% full. What gives? I switched to init 1, umounted /dev/hda9 (root) and ran reiserfsck and all is well. I dk???? Anyone hear of this before? Yes, I've serached for core's, and checked tmp's, and I've been running cron and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bradenm Posted October 15, 2002 Report Share Posted October 15, 2002 Happened to me too, it was drakbackup's files in /root/.drakbackup/ (hidden dir.) I changed it to /home/backups where there was more room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted October 15, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2002 YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING Reminds me of *cough* WinME System Restore. :shock: OK....is there a way to stop it, or is it something we want? I guess this is new? I never had this prob b4......be nice if they made it a little more public, don't ya think? What starts it?... because I just did a fresh install a couple of hours ago, I have rebooted once, and I don't have a /root/.drakbackup/ anything?

Guest bradenm Posted October 15, 2002 Report Share Posted October 15, 2002 If you haven't run drakbackup manually, and if there's no files in /root/.drakbackup/ , then that's not the issue. It was actually my fault that this happened to me, I forgot to check free space on / and set drakbackups max size to bigger than that. BTW, drakbackup is nothing even close to System Restore, and doesn't run automatically unless you tell it to (though I can't get it to work automatically :( ). Try running "drakbackup" to check your current config. You can also find it in the Mandrake Control Centre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
