TravelingPacket – A blog of network musings

Today I had a vyatta that has limited HD space and could not  bring up VPN tunnels due to the lack of space. The below command is what I used to find the largest folder on the Vyatta file system :

find / -type f -size +20M -exec ls -lh {} \; 2> /dev/null | awk '{ print $NF ": " $5 }' | sort -nk 2,2

The command above searches the whole file system and reports back files larger than 20M.

I found that my wireshark folder had a lot of old captures. I navigated to the folder and removed all old captures and that freed up the missing space.
