rootfs file system location?
I want to look at the space and get a good idea of what's taking what. What is the file system location of rootfs?

Re: rootfs file system location?
in X-terminal:
cd / du -h . [enjoy list of hundreds of subdirs] |
Re: rootfs file system location?
simple search should get you answers to basic questions
df -k on the xterm will give you the status of filesystems *EDIT* du command is to see the size of the files in the specified/current path. |
Re: rootfs file system location?
I have ran 'df -kh' and although it shows the usage of rootfs it doesn't show the file system location of rootfs, only the usage of rootfs. It does show a few directories but these don't add up to be rootfs as their file size is over 256MB.
Also, 'du -h' will just show directory space usage and not provide the location of rootfs. |

Is that article suggesting that every directory that isn't /home, /home/user/Mydocs or /media/mmc1 is the rootfs?

MyDocs is what you see in the N900 File Manager. |

Re: rootfs file system location?
The following may help you track down rootfs hungry apps/games
1) Run 'sudo gainroot' 2) Run 'cd /' 3) Run 'du -h | sort -n -r > size.log' 4) Run 'cat size.log | more' The higher rootfs usage directories will appear at the top of the list. I assume from the above information that anything inside /home can be ignored as using rootfs space. I have noticed a few games that think it's OK to install over 2MB on rootfs including Electric Beams, Supertux and PRBoom. |
