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

Yogesh Ranchool

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

 

Yogesh

    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.

    Not an admin by profession but have had luck with fdisk in some occasions. You can read about it here and see how it applies to your situation: LINKY (Disclaimer: I am NOT an expert, so please please use this advice carefully).
