So What ate my disk space?
I have an entry level doplet (20GB) and have some files and an unfinished project. Today I tried to install VCN But the installation stopped halfway because there was not enough space. here is my usage,
root@aaa:/# du -s * | sort -nr | head
du: cannot access ‘proc/19923/task/19923/fd/4’: No such file or directory
du: cannot access ‘proc/19923/task/19923/fdinfo/4’: No such file or directory
du: cannot access ‘proc/19923/fd/4’: No such file or directory
du: cannot access ‘proc/19923/fdinfo/4’: No such file or directory
5496816 var
1330076 usr
1048580 swapfile
394848 lib
63980 boot
41200 root
11312 sbin
9328 bin
6688 etc

And the df is,
root@aaa:/# df -h

Have you tried running the command inside the var and usr directories?
As you have 5GB Var and 1.3GB usr folder
You can see you have a 1GB Swapfile
The proc folder contains information about processes and system information. You don’t really need to worry about it.
