I have a box running redhat 7.1 used primarily as a small samba / web server. The box has a large 60GB HDD, 58GB formatted as fat32 with the other 2GB formatted as a linux partion (and the swap space)
I seem to have run out of space on the linux partition in the past couple of days and can't seem to figure out why - everything is stored on the fat32 partition and I've not copied anything large (ie 500MB or so) onto the linux partition. Somehow I seem to have 'lost' between 400 and 500MB in a couple of days. Anybody have any ideas?
LOL. The answer is that you did NOT allocate enough disk space to root partiton You really need 3 partitions or maybe 4, /, /home, swap, maybe /boot (very beginning of drive). It is best to keep the data partitions separate from your / partition. At least this is my first thought.
see what is taking up the space.

Summary: For Redhat 7.1 all that is available to download are the iso images. Most people burn these images to CDrom because that is the easiest way to install. But it is possible to just leave these images on...
