Title:
  depmod fills disk to 100% with invisible modules.ccwmap

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

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)
