[Bug 1232473] Re: depmod fills disk to 100% with invisible modules.ccwmap
Andris Zāģeris, as per your https://launchpadlibrarian.net/151741411/BootDmesg.txt :
[ 0.927247] [Firmware Bug]: ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query ignored
...
[ 3.325597] [Firmware Bug]: ACPI(PEGP) defines _DOD but not _DOS
Hence, as per http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/Product/xps-15z an update is available for your BIOS (A12). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and just provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.
For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.
Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
depmod fills disk to 100% with invisible modules.ccwmap
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I ran update manager, it was installing a new kernel
(3.2.0-54-generic). Then an error dialog/message popped up that the
disk (root partition) was full, the dialog had two buttons (examine -
starts baobab and skip/cancel).
At first I tried to find any big files (du didn't help, showed that
only 8GB of 20GB was used). Long story short, googled a bit about why
df and du might disagree and someone recommended lsof | grep deleted.
depmod (i think) had created a file and deleted it then kept writing
to it filling up my root partition. In the end I had to kill it,
because it just kept writing to it even when I zeroed out that deleted
file.
Here's a log (shortened) of what I typed in the console:
root@localhost:/# lsof | grep deleted | grep depmod
depmod 8673 root 3w REG 8,1 14525296640 676388 /lib/modules/3.2.0-54-generic/modules.ccwmap (deleted)
root@localhost:/# cd /proc/8673/fd
root@localhost:/proc/8673/fd# ll -h | grep ccwmap
