13 years ago One thing we learned about the filesystem space issue is that it adds up all the pending commands that write data before it handles any of the commands that free up space. So it's a bit of a waiting game before it shows some free space gain, even if you delete several gigs of files.
I know we're expecting some new space soon, but that does nothing for the fact that we're out of space now. This is probably a good time to remind people about good data-storage practices. See here for a list of ways you can minimize your hard-disk footprint: https://github.com/gablab/mindhive/wiki/Minimizing-your-storage-space-footprint
when running df -h /mindhive/gablab it says there is NO space left anymore, 0! and i can't even create an empty text file anymore. i tried freeing some space but nothing changed after i cleared like 4G (i know its not much, but it should be enough to let me do "mv tinyfilea tinyfileb"?)
