Title: [SOLVED] Why is my root directory almost full?? Post by: derrend on May 01, 2013, 01:25:45 AM I am running bitcoind on ubuntu linux but my / partition is only 12 gig in size and since i began syncing bitcoind for the first time my / directory is almost full.
Where is bitcoin storing files on my root directory? i need to move and symlink them somewhere else for syncing to complete. Could temporary files be responsible? I have restarted my computer in the hope it would erase them if this is the case but no extra free space is present after reboot. Please help :( UPDATE: Just got error printed to standard out 'Bitcoin: Warning: Disk space is low' then it exited. All suggestions appreciated. *SOLVED It was my stupid mistake, i installed my OS into my 12gig root partition and symlinked all my folders to the 2nd partition called FILES in case my os partition broke i would always have my data seperated. the bitcoin folder IS located on my / partition after all but its been so long I just forgot. Silly me :p Title: Re: Why is my root directory almost full?? Post by: yvv on May 01, 2013, 01:31:25 AM $ du -sh ~/.bitcoin

will show you your disk usage hardcore unix way ;) But fortunately, Ubuntu has nice disk usage utility, which I call pressing "command" button on my mackintosh keyboard :o |
