hi,

Last three days the free space on rootfs decreases for about 1 Mb per day (90.0 MB -> 89.1 MB -> 87.8 MB). No new modules were installed last days, kernel is 2.6.28power37.
No widgets, only couple of contacts are placed on the desktop.

How to determine, who eats free space on rootfs?

Thanks in advance.

Most likely caches.
It's normal, the decrease will stop sooner or later.
Also jesus, you have *tons* of free rootfs space.

Thank You.
But this is not the answer for the question - how to check, which modules are responsible for the problem? I hope, that this is the cache, but if not?
By the way - today I have only 82.1 MB.

something like....

open a terminal...

find / -mtime -1 -exec ls -l {}/;

will list files modified in the last day
you can ignore any /proc /sys files

Better yet, you can add "-xdev" to that find command and then it will only search the root filesystem and not everything on the N900.

It could be something creating new files and/or growing existing ones, or something keeping deleted/replaced files open thus not allowing the kernel to reclaim their space.

How to determine, who eats free space on rootfs?
For the first case, try running "du -x /" from time to time and comparing the output.

For the second, lsof might help (but be aware of bug 6183).

The Maemo busybox find is built without -exec support :-(
