No space left on device ( linux )

Question

When I try to create a file, it's giving "No space left on device"

I tried to fetch inode usage :

$df -ih ~

I am getting : IUse% = 77%

And when I do this to fetch disk usage :

$df -h ~

I am getting : Use% = 11%

What's going wrong? How to resolve this issue?

Answer 1

you check the ~ (Home Folder) and it can be missleading. best practice is to use df -kh * du -sh / fdisk -l https://www.tecmint.com/check-linux-disk-usage-of-files-and-directories/
