Not enough space in / to install Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux.

Hi There,

 

I am getting the following error when trying to install Sophos Server Protection on a CentOS7 linux machine.

 

Not enough space in / to install Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux. You can install elsewhere by re-running this installer with the --instdir argument.

 

The server has ample storage of 150GB and only using up 49GB when I run the comment du -h from root /

 

please let me know what I might be doing wrong.

 

Thanks

  • I just did a df -h at root and gets the following.

     

    [root@datastore /]# df -h
    Filesystem               Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
    /dev/mapper/centos-root   50G   50G  996M  99% /
    devtmpfs                 3.9G     0  3.9G   0% /dev
    tmpfs                    3.9G     0  3.9G   0% /dev/shm
    tmpfs                    3.9G   57M  3.8G   2% /run
    tmpfs                    3.9G     0  3.9G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
    /dev/mapper/centos-home   92G   33M   92G   1% /home
    /dev/sda1               1014M  203M  812M  21% /boot
    tmpfs                    783M     0  783M   0% /run/user/1000

     

    Now I see what the problem is.  I need to figure out whats taking up all that space

  • I understand. You can probably run something like du -hsc* or du -h --max-depth=1 or any other switch for du , if any of those would help. 

    Thanks!

  • Looks like I need to increase the /root partition and decrease /home

     

    apache installed my www in root and I have 45GB of files in there.  Hence the issue of it filling up.

     

    I am not sure how well versed in linux I am to perform this operation.
