Once in a while , whenever I checked my disk space usage ..
for / it goes up to 90% and left barely 1Gb out of 19Gb..
so whenever I did a yum install <bigthing>
it complain space insufficient..
it was allocated 19Gb for / .. and the rest goes to /home..
19Gb would be doubled of what being needed to do a full package install of CentOS.. as it only require upto 8-9 Gb..
was thinking to re-format this whole thing.. but wait.. may be it just time to do some clean up..
goes into runlevel 3 with
telinit 3
remove all temporary file
rm -rf /tmp/*
rm -rf /var/tmp/*
remove old kernel and kernel-devel
rpm -q kernel
yum remove kernel-<old-version-number>
and recheck the disk usage..
Hmm..
then it freed up to 7-8 Gb..
Seem back to normal.. don’t need to re-format.. Yay~
I got better one after a few minute..
by adding this two line before line 602 (/usr/share/system-config-network/netconfpkg/gui/maindialog.py)
if (not isinstance (host.Hostname, str)):
continue
now it works like charms again.. hehe.. 😎
This was helpful. Summary: if the /etc/hosts file is not well-formed, the python script doesn’t handle it well. In my case, somehow a long entry that was commented out got “line wrapped”, leaving some uncommented garbage on the next line. Fixing the hosts file or adding the above patch “worked”. It seems that some complaint to the user should be generated in such a case, though.
@UncleOp , Glad it help.. thanks for dropping by..
