when i try to updating my ubuntu server (9.04) i got no space left on device error... i don't know why because 1 see my sda1 still got 1.3G free..
this error freaking me out coz i can't do anything with my proxy server (even SARG can't generate report)

when i run df -h the output is

devshm 252M 0 252M 0% /dev/shm <- Your tmp FS is full. Is the machine out of RAM / SWAP space?

I'm thinking that's your problem.

Post the output from:

free -m

total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 503 496 7 0 154 86
-/+ buffers/cache: 255 248
Swap: 400 0 399


yes... i see my memory is full and my swap is free, how do i free up my memory?
is this normally happened on ubuntu?

Hmm, that's odd. It should be using the swap if your RAM is full. Not too sure what to tell you.

Hate to suggest it but a reboot might be worth while. Unless someone else can chime in with a better suggestion. :confused:

already try reboot but still no solution
