Root Partition Full?

Post by turk » Wed Dec 14, 2011 9:56 pm

I have a 1TB Terastation running Twonky 6.0.38. I have recently recovered from a crash (E04 error, among others). Now that I am back up and running, I wanted to at least try my best to keep this from happening again. I have read that there may be an issue with the root partition filling up. I have attached some screen shots and I have a few question. Thanks for the help and sorry for all the questions and my program language deficiencies.

Does the Twonky install remove the Buffalo server? It still serves up to my clients.
Should/Can it be removed?
Would I remove /mnt/array1/mediaserver? It is the only mediaserver folder that is not empty.
After a Twonky install, are there any directories that can be deleted to create additional stability (Buffalo db)?
Is /dev/md1 the root partition? It was at 97% before I removed the Buffalo manuals.
Do the numbers bellow look OK?

Code: Select all

root@SAO_TERA:/mnt# df
Filesystem         1k-blocks         Used    Available     Use%    Mounted on
/dev/md1             493120        446112         47008     90%      /
/dev/ram1              15360             120         15240      1%      /mnt/ram
/dev/md0             287702          15640       272062      5%      /boot
/dev/md2        729396352   471137388  258258964    65%      /mnt/array1

That would indicate that you have configured Twonky to store its database and config files in the /var directory. This is the default for Linux, but it does not work for most NAS devices. Most NAS devices have /var in a very small disk or memory partition that the Twonky database will quickly fill.

You need to relocate the the Twonky database to a directory under /mnt/array1 (in your case).
You do this with the -appdata option on the command line that starts Twonky. Search these forums and you will find how to do this for your NAS.
