Assuming your / partition isn't tiny I've never seen removing packages |
| 6 |
or changing use flags make enough of a difference though there are a |
| 7 |
couple of exceptions. Chances are you've got old data rather than |
| 8 |
binaries somewhere that's causing the space problem. |

/usr/src/linux-* |

Each new revisions of the kernel that you install drops a |
| 12 |
/usr/src/linux-$version directory. These are pretty good size and you |
| 13 |
should remove the packages of any kernels you not using. You may also |
| 14 |
need to manually remove the dirs as well after the packages have been |
| 15 |
removed. |

/var/lib/mysql |

It's usually not the databases that use space on a home system, but the |
| 19 |
binary logs. Add these two lines under the mysqld portion of your |
| 20 |
/etc/mysql/my.cnf and restart Mysql. You may need to purge bin logs as |
| 21 |
well though Mysql should clean things up when you restart it. |

expire_logs_days = 10 |

max_binlog_size = 100M |

/root/ /tmp/ / |

Lot's of people have the bad habit of leaving dumps, tars or other |
| 29 |
files in these dirs. Check them out. |

Lastly a df -h and a sudo du -m --max-depth=1 / would go a long way |
| 32 |
towards pointing to where the problems are. |
