asked on File system full
My file system is full and I'm having a hard time trying to find space. I don't know how to get to that first drive:

oklit,
I am not arguing the point that you probably shouldn't mess around in the /dev directory however I do disagree with you that it always shows 100%. This is mine:

I did that and I'm not familiar with the files that show up, and hardly any directories:

pony10us - you are checking this on linux. Author has FreeBSD. These systems are not the same.
/dev is memory disk. it will be always full.
You need to free something on /
1) lsof +L1
i.e do you have any deleted files open by broke log rotation
2) cd /var
du -sk * | sort -n

Thank you oklit. You are correct I am testing on Red Hat. I didn't realize FreeBSD showed it different. One more lesson learned. :)
The /dev folder is at 100%
To get to the root folder type "cd /" without the quotes and look at what is in there.
Then to get to the /dev folder type "cd /dev" without the quotes and look at what is in there.
Use "ls -l" without the quotes to see how big everything is.
