Hi experts,
Recently, we’ve encountered the follow error. “Low disk Space” see screenshots below.
Is there I can to to expand my disk? This is for SAP HANA.

Hi
Are you running btrfs filesystem and snapshots on / ?
[QUOTE=malcolmlewis;37124]Hi

Hi malcolmlewis, no I’m not running those two. 
Hi
So possibly the log files (/var/log), lots of /tmp files perhaps? Also
look down in the zypper cache (/var/cache);
du -sh /tmp /var/log /var/cacheOr maybe something is being backed up locally?

Hello Malcolm,
Here’s the result of the command:
hanab1:~ # du -sh /tmp /var/log /var/cache
1.2G /tmp
40M /var/log
13M /var/cacheIs there anyway to expand that current filesize?
Hi
So what is the filesystem on / ext4?
But 50G should be more than ample, just expanding the filesystem is going to mask the issue…
I would suggest a look at the directories under / with du to isolate where usage is (not a user, /home ?)
Hi Bry,
It may prove helpful finding big / large files in the “/” filesystem (“root filesystem”) that may be filling up that file system (but excluding the “/hana” file system, since that one is mounted on a different device).
The “find” command below finds large files (greater than 100 MB), but excluding files that are located under the folders / directories “/proc” , “/var/lib/ntp/proc” and “/hana”.
I suggest that you try the following command for yourself and see if the output helps you in “finding the culprit”:
find / \\( -path /proc -o -path /var/lib/ntp/proc -o -path /hana \\) -prune -o -type f -size +100M -print0 | xargs -0 ls -lhCheers,
