"df -h ." will give you the free space for the current filesystem, which tells you what filesystem it actually is.

Where were you installing applications from? You haven't mentioned even one program name, do you remember which applications you were installing?

There is a system bug which eats some space from rootfs after each install, but reboot will free that space.

As I said: "And of course I didn't remember the last application I installed." and I don't remeber the others, because I had to flash my device. And of course I don't remember the repository, because I just installed them by description - I wasn't aware that I should be careful with some repositories.

Because I have a flashed device now, I currently don't have the rootfs problem .

Maybe I don't understand this.. but..

Having applicaions installed in /opt, rather than /home/* seems pretty dumb? it's only /home that has enough dedicated space to support any medium amount of applications.

EDIT: More than half my apps has ended up there and filled my storage. I get the same error. Now I have to remove some otherwise nice applications.

grr

Not everything from extras-dev, no - most current apps are optified from the start. Themes can take up a fair bit of the rootfs space, and there's some applications. You can use the StorageUsage application to see what packages are using rootfs space, or there's some scripts I've written here to do the same thing.

/opt is just a symlink to /home/opt.
