Disk Full, Duplicate Swap File Systems

mo flag
Candi Martin

VPS RAM at 100%, so I researched how to reduce it. Swap was not being used, so I following an online tutorial to enable it.

I made a typo, so I now have a swapfile 2.7KB and swapfle 3.2KB filesystems. I commented out the UUID && swapfle in the /etc/fstab file.

Swapfle is read-only. I cannot delete it and command line says it's not mounted. I can no longer edit the fstab file either bc I get an error "Disk Full."

I would be willing wipe the entire server if I could just access my mysql database. I haven't backed it up in approx 7 days. Web files are backed up.

SOS!!! Can someone please help me.

VERSION: Ubuntu 16.04.7 LTS xenial

 sudo du / --block-size=MiB --max-depth=1 path | sort -r -n

Before solutions can be offered, it will be important to know some details. Can you [edit your question] to include: (1) the version of Ubuntu you are running (2) the output of `sudo du / --block-size=MiB --max-depth=1 path | sort -r -n`

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
