... but the USE% = 100%?
Somehow, I've filled up my root partition (ext3). Now, I can't even boot up normally - things try to write to the root, and, obviously, can't. I've booted using the live disk. Here's my df -h:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 170G 164G 0 100% /mnt/gentoo
df -i:
Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 22511616 1283181 21228435 6% /mnt/gentoo
I've tried a fsck, and it is reporting clean:
/dev/sda3: clean, 1283181/22511616 files, 43566296/45018146 blocks
Any suggestions on how to tackle this? |

If I remember correctly then the system reserves some space on the drive for itself. It would correspond with you getting a full disk when approximately 5% is still free.
As for what is filling up your partition I would check the logs. This is where I has a similar problem.
should be able to show you how much space is used for the logs. If not here, then check the rest of /var or maybe /usr/portage? You get the idea

As far as I'm concerned, I'd rather do:
| Code: | #emerge gentoolkit
#eclean-dist [-d] |
This will only remove unused distfiles so you can quickly rebuild installed packages without redownloading the distfile.
I use eclean-dist in each and every update process on my boxes.
EDIT: Oh! and you can also read this.

I like to drop the -h (human readable) option, and run it through sort. It saves time digging.
But I usually won't do this on the whole root tree since it will search /proc and all my mounts also
| Code: | du /var | sort -n | less
du /home | sort -n | less
du /usr | sort -n | less
etc... |
