    Ubuntu not enough space on AWS EC2

    I have 25GB volume on EC2. OS is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I can connect to it, but cannot even write 1KB. I tried to delete some files and write again - the same result - not enough space.


    I tried to check free space and got this error.


    df -h
    df: cannot read table of mounted file systems: No such file or directory


    Then I tried to get directory sizes. It seems that only 13GB from 25GB is full:

    How can I solve this problem?

    I think you are missing a key part...
    lee@dev01:~$ mount
    /dev/sdb1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
    proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
    sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
    none on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)
    none on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw)
    none on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw)
    udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
    devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=0620)
    tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,size=10%,mode=0755)
    none on /run/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,size=5242880)
    none on /run/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
    Note how in yours / is not mounted... Do you have a full system, or the Amazon static Ubuntu you can't really modify?

    When setting up the instance you should have a screen like below - make sure youve selected the volumes properly

    df -h should look like

    Don't waste your energy trying to change opinions ... Do your thing, and don't care if they like it.

    How can I mount it? I can modify this instance.

    The key part missing is your root directory, but in the system and in the fstab. This is a major issue... I would start with a reboot and see if the root is found again.

    Windows assumes the user is an idiot.
    Linux demands proof.

    There are enough space on root - 25GB. And only 13GB are used. But I cannot write anything.
