dev/root

[zeus]

Hi,
randomly, the free space on my server is near to 0.
I have this situation:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md3 1.8T 1.5T 223G 88% /home
/dev/root 20G 17G 1.7G 92% /
devtmpfs 32G 268K 32G 1% /dev
rootfs 20G 17G 1.7G 92% /
tmpfs 32G 0 32G 0% /dev/shm

How can I free space (clean logs or not important files) in directadmin?
What is included dev/root and rootfs?
Why tmpfs is empty and can I use that space?
Thank you very much

Hello,

Please do not try to empty disk space without understanding how are files organised in Linux. Read basic documentation or ask somebody to do clean it for you.

How can I free space (clean logs or not important files) in directadmin?

Directadmin does not provide interface to clear anything for the exception of files located under /home/ (per user). So you need to do in a console as root. And I highly recommend not doing this yourself. As you might or not remove important files and ruin your server.

What is included dev/root and rootfs?

Everything including: system files, libs, binaries, logs, etc. There are high chances to ruin a server if you remove important files.

Why tmpfs is empty and can I use that space?

Yes, you can... if you don't afraid to loose it with a server reboot.
