Do I Have Enough Disk Space?

If the underlying Linux system runs out of space, that can lead to processes dying unexpectedly or tasks not completing. To check if you’re running low, run:

df -h

This shows the amount of free space on each of your partitions. Example – your output will be different:

df -h

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on

/dev/vda1 60G 9.9G 51G 17% /

/dev/vda2 1.0T 101G 899G 10% /var

devtmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /dev

tmpfs 1.9G 180K 1.9G 1% /dev/shm

tmpfs 1.9G 193M 1.7G 11% /run

tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup

tmpfs 380M 0 380M 0% /run/user/1001

tmpfs 380M 0 380M 0% /run/user/0

The important lines are the ones associated with the root filesystem(“/”), the home partition (“/home/”, if there is one), and “/var/”, if there is one. If any of these are very low on space, you’ll need to free some up.

A common tool for this is delete-databases.sh , available on the Zeek and AC-Hunter/Rita systems. When run with no command line parameters, it lists the available databases.

Once you’ve found some you no longer need to keep, run the tool again with the name(s) of one or more of them to remove. We recommend running the same command on both systems to remove them from both.
