No space left on device
Solution 1
You probably have a LVM volume group (VG) of about 130 GiB size (with the very creative name "volume") in which just one logical volume (LV) has been created. Have a look at it:
vgdisplay -v
Not throwing all capacity in /dev/root was a goot idea IMHO. You can either extend (lvresize
, lvextend
) the existing LV (and after that the file system in it) or create new ones (preferably). Use lvcreate
or (better) your distro's tool for that. And have a look at your disk partitioning:
fdisk -l /dev/vda
Solution 2
df -i can't prove anything here one inode of the 1GB file will make df -i with much less %. you need to see if you have free extents in your VG(Volume Group) You need to grow your LV(logical Volume) And then resize actual fs

I have a vServer and I can't upload/copy files.
It says "no space left on device" but I have like 130 GB on my hdd.
This is what it shows on: df -h /
df -h / Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/volume-root 39G 37G 0 100% /
This is what it shows on: df -i
df -i Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on /dev/mapper/volume-root 2575440 293897 2281543 12% / tmpfs 1024770 5 1024765 1% /lib/init/rw udev 1023447 517 1022930 1% /dev tmpfs 1024770 1 1024769 1% /dev/shm /dev/vda1 65536 222 65314 1% /boot overflow 1024770 2 1024768 1% /tmp
It seems like the partition is nearly full (37gb out of 39gb) but I have 130 GB hdd, how can I fix this?

floube about 11 yearslvextend -L+10G /dev/volume/root Can I use this to extend the current partion by 10gb ?
-
floube about 11 yearsfdisk -l /dev/vda On this it says the hdd is 167.5gb
-
rvs about 11 years@floube that should probably work, depending on configuration of your LVM volume.

Hauke Laging about 11 years@floube Yes but you have to extend the file system afterwards which is not possible with every file system with the volume being mounted read-write. You should really consider creating an new LV instead (and copy data there).

floube about 11 yearsI have to create a new PV (current VG has Free PE / Size: 0 / 0) but it says: pvcreate /dev/vda2 Can't initialize physical volume "/dev/vda2" of volume group "volume" without -ff And when I try it with an other name: pvcreate /dev/vda3 Device /dev/vda3 not found (or ignored by filtering). What should I do?

Hauke Laging about 11 years@floube If you continue using programs like
pvcreate
without the slightest idea what you are doing then you are going to crash your whole system. Consider yourself warned. You haven't posted the output offdisk -l /dev/vda
. I assume that there are two partitions only. You have to create a new partition in the free space (not necessarily consuming all the free space). Usecfdisk
if available or your distro's tool. This can be a primary or a logical partition, that doesn't matter. Then you reboot, make it a PV (bypvcreate
) and add it withvgextend
.
