Error message please help.

[michman]

Lately I have been getting the following message when I try to access the hackmanager or when I try to start some of the hacks (30 sec skip, of longer buffer) Does anyone have any suggestions that could help this problem?

What results do you get when you issue the "df" command?

[michman]

I'm not sure what you mean, this tivo was hacked for me, so I don't know a lot about the commands. I am very computer savy though, so I understand most things discussed here.

Open up a telnet session, type df and post the output here. You've probably got a bunch of extra junk laying around in root that needs to be cleaned out.

[michman]

This is what I get:

bash-2.02# df
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hda7 126911 126911 0 100% /
/dev/hda9 126911 20481 99877 17% /var
bash-2.02#
bash-2.02#

[DocTauri]

It's because your root volume (/) is full (100%).

What does

du -h / | grep -v '/proc' | grep -v '/var'

produce?

[michman]

This is as far as I get, nothing happens after this. The cursor blinks on the next line.

You were supposed to type it all in on one command line with the "pipe" symbol (vertical bar) between commands.

Here's another variation I prefer:du -x / | sort -nThe bottom of the list should be your largest directory, normally /tvbin.

[Lost Dog]

Just a guess... Is AlphaWolf's All-in-one utilities installed? Were they on one partition the copied to the other using a simple "cp" command? If so this may be the issue... It copies them as files and not links which fills up the drive REALLY fast.

[michman]

ok, here is what I get:

[Gunnyman]

how many copies of tivoapp do you have in /tvbin
you can remove tivoapp.bak and free up some space

[Jamie]

I would ask what you are doing with 30MB in /archive. Also, what's /cdrom? Do you really need it?

du -x | sort -n will list the directories in size order, with the largest at the end. It makes it a little easier to pick out the largest directories.

[michman]

This is the part where I need your help. I don't know how or what directories to clear. Can someone please give some direction.

[DocTauri]

/archive is not a standard Tivo directory, neither is /cdrom. Now, I wouldn't delete them w/o first knowing what's in them, as you'll more than likely break your hacks.

As Gunneyman said, tivoapp is pretty large (17MB), so if you have the patched copy, as well as the original backup in /tvbin, you can free up a little space that way.

On my DTivo with 6.2a, fully hacked (elseed, endpad, tivoweb, AIO, etc), my root (/) is at 66% capacity with 40MB free.

What does

echo $PATH

return?
Doc

[michman]

bash-2.02# echo $PATH
./:.:/utils:/bin:/sbin:/tvbin:/tivobin:/busybox
bash-2.02#
bash-2.02#

[DocTauri]

So, /archive and /cdrom are NOT in your path. I'd start looking in them to see what can be deleted.

It looks like tivoweb-plus is the only thing in /cdrom. Here's my tivoweb-plus
703K ./tivoweb-tcl/bin_mips
97K ./tivoweb-tcl/bin_ppc
97K ./tivoweb-tcl/images
859K ./tivoweb-tcl/modules
14K ./tivoweb-tcl/src
84K ./tivoweb-tcl/docs
1.0K ./tivoweb-tcl/backups
1.9M ./tivoweb-tcl

It only takes 1.9M, so I'm not sure why yours is twice as large, but the bin_mips and bin_ppc directories seem to be the problem.

What's in /archive?
Doc

[michman]

I'm not really sure what is in the folder, I don't know how to check. This unit was hacked for me and given to me. I only really need to delete enough to be able to activate tyserver so I can extract video.

[DocTauri]

cd into the folder
cd /archive

and list the contents
ls

[michman]

Here is what I found.

It looks like a bunch of useless logs (at least that's what it looks like to an uneducated user at least). Would I benefit from deleting these? If so how do I do that? And do I run the risk of messing anything else up by doing this?

Thanks for all the help you guys have given me.

Yuck. I'm sure that's part of the problem. That's 30 megs and 2 years worth of junk. Do this mount -o remount,rw /
rm -rf /archive
mount -o remount,ro /
Do you have a cronjob archiving logs or something?
