    HDD got full?? impossible!! help

    Hi

    The kubuntu partition is 32GB and there was more than 20GB free before. I was coping a 1GB file from other partition to Kubuntu Home, but almost at the end of the operation I got a message "cannot write file because disk is full". I had to stop the task, then I deleted the incomplete file, but surprise! The partition was still full. I looked the folders with dolphin (Home>right click>properties) and fount that Home uses 25GB, but there is nothing in the folders so wtf!! :-X

      it seems to be ok now after I rebooted the OS, may be it was a bug due to many packages downloads and a lot of configurations for oracle. I copied the file again without problems.

      sladex@XFX:~$ df -h

        tmpfs seems kinda small. How did you set up /tmp?

          It was a guided installation so the system did it automatically. Can I change the /tmp and SWAP size?

            Can you post your /etc/fstab file?

            Swap is usually a partition so can can increase the size of it, add another swap partition, swap to a page file... just depends on what direction you want to take. You can see the size of it with the free command.

              *I asked about changing SWAP size because its size is 10GB and I think it is too much but I don't know about it, and my RAM is 8GB.

              # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
              #
              # Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
              # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
              # that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
              #
              # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
              proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
              # / was on /dev/sda9 during installation
