[Bug 716188] Re: Perhaps Xorg not closing files, system reports full HD

 

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xorg
  
  Hi. I opened this thread in Ubuntu forums with no luck at all. Hope
  someone can give me a clue of what happens.

  Recently, gnome has been warning me about low disk space, always less
  than 1.5GiGs.
  
  The problem is, baobab (disk usage analyzer) tells me that there are something like 50GiG free. I am sure that I have the free space ( I can write big files ) but the system keeps reporting low disk space. Even
  Code:
  df -h
  looks wrong:
  
  
  Code:
  Filesystem    Type    Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
  /dev/sda1     ext4    221G  209G  638M 100% /
  none      devtmpfs    2.0G  272K  2.0G   1% /dev
  none         tmpfs    2.0G  1.9M  2.0G   1% /dev/shm
  none         tmpfs    2.0G  328K  2.0G   1% /var/run
  none         tmpfs    2.0G     0  2.0G   0% /var/lock
  none       debugfs    221G  209G  638M 100% /var/lib/ureadahead/debugfs
  Wandering in some other thread, someone pointed out that some program may be deleting files ... but not closing them, and the offending program can be fount with
  Code:
  sudo lsof -s | grep DEL | sort -rnk 7,7
  ,which gives a wall of results like these
  Code:
  Xorg      1334                root  DEL       REG                0,4                 8573 /drm mm object
  Xorg      1334                root  DEL       REG                0,4                 8572 /drm mm object
  Xorg      1334                root  DEL       REG               0,4                 8560 /drm mm object
  Xorg      1334                root  DEL       REG                0,4                 8559 /drm mm object
  Xorg      1334                root  DEL       REG                0,4                 8558 /drm mm object
  Xorg      1334                root  DEL       REG                0,4                 8557 /drm mm object
  Xorg      1334                root  DEL       REG                0,4                 8556 /drm mm object
  Perhaps Xorg is having a very bad behavior?? What can I do to force it close the files , or whatever else that can give me back the hard disk space ... working is unpractical since most applications (gnome apps) think that there is no space left on the device.
  
  
  My sistem is Ubuntu 10.10 64bit, with all the upgrades until today (proposed updates enabled)
  XORG INFO
  
  
  X.Org X Server 1.9.0
  Release Date: 2010-08-20

  Thanks in advance.
