I used Cassandra to store my data. I use Centos.
The data seems always to be stored in the root partition, which is too small.
My file system partitions like
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/centos-root 50G 25G 26G 49% /
devtmpfs 7.8G 0 7.8G 0% /dev
tmpfs 7.8G 0 7.8G 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 7.8G 17M 7.8G 1% /run
tmpfs 7.8G 0 7.8G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/sda2 494M 177M 318M 36% /boot
/dev/sda1 200M 9.8M 191M 5% /boot/efi
/dev/mapper/centos-home 873G 66G 807G 8% /home
tmpfs 1.6G 0 1.6G 0% /run/user/1001
Obviously the root partition (50 GB) is much smaller than one at home (873GB).
Is there a way that I change a setup to enforce data storage using the
partition "/dev/mapper/centos-home" ?
I need to use the command "sudo service cassandra start" to activate Cassandra.
If without sudo, my authority doesn't allow me to activate Cassandra.
Thanks!
Edit the $CASSANDRA_HOME/conf/cassandra.yaml file (sometimes it is
located under /etc/cassandra also, depending on how you install
Cassandra)
Update the following properties
(only available since Cassandra 3.x) hints_directory: /var/lib/cassandra/hints // put your own directory here
data_file_directories: //put a list of directories here
/var/lib/cassandra/data
commitlog_directory: /var/lib/cassandra/commitlog // put your own directory here
saved_caches_directory: /var/lib/cassandra/saved_caches // put your
own directory here

I was trying to copy a 1.5GiB file from a location to another and was warned that my disk space is full, so I proceeded to a verification using df -h, which gave the following output:

tmpfs 3.1G 88K 3.1G 1% /run/user/4204967
where /dev/mapper/RHELCSB-Home seemed to cause the issue. But when running sudo du -xsh /dev/mapper/RHELCSB-Home, I got the following result:
0 /dev/mapper/RHELCSB-Home
and same thing for /dev/ and /dev/mapper/. After researching this issue, I figured out that this might have been caused by undeleted log files in /var/log/, but the total size of files there is far from approaching the 100GiB. What could cause my disk space to be full?
Additional context: I was running a local postgresql database when this happened, but I can't see how this can relate to my issue as postgres log files are not taking that much space either.
The issue was solved by deleting podman container volumes in ~/.local/share/containers/

I have a Linux system where the disk space shows as only 29Gb, but when I look at the partition with the parted - print command it shows as a 64Gb partition. I'm not sure if the remaining disk space is unallocated, mounted in other folders, stuck in "tmpfs" or how to add it to the primary partition. This is in Ubuntu 18.04 OS. I would like for the full 64 GB to be available at root. I appreciate any help!
When I run df -h, here are the results:

Depending on the installation, the root partition might only use a part of the logical volume (LV).
Try the commands vgs and lvs to get information about your current setup. I assume that vgs shows about 30G free space. You can enlarge the root volume using lvresize. After this you need to adapt the file system. This depends on the file system type you are using. If you use extX then you might want to run resize2fs.
Edit based on the edited question:
Yes, everything can be done when the disk is mounted and in use.
BUT YOU NEED TO TAKE CARE ABOUT THE COMMANDS YOURSELF!!! A WRONG COMMAND MIGHT DESTROY YOUR SYSTEM.
PLEASE TAKE YOUR TIME TO MAKE YOURSELF COMFORTABLE WITH LVS BEFORE CHANGING THE SYSTEM.
There are many good tutorials which might help you, e.g.:
http://ryandoyle.net/posts/expanding-a-lvm-partition-to-fill-remaining-drive-space/
The guidance from Andreas proved helpful. I managed to resize the logical volume to the full size of the partition using the following commands and sequence.

Size of logical volume ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv changed from 28.75 GiB (7360 extents) to <57.50 GiB (14719 extents).
Logical volume ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv successfully resized.

Resize file system to full size of logical volume, use Filesystem name from df command above. Note this is an ext4 filesystem, you may have to use a different command for a different filesystem.

I'm using a DS4 Azure VM (Ubuntu 14.04). It comes with a 56GB local SSD.
I need to set up a 25GB swapfile in this local SSD. When I do df -h in the VM, I can see that it seems to be mapped to the /mnt/ folder. Following is the entire output:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 29G 22G 6.4G 77% /
none 4.0K 0 4.0K 0% /sys/fs/cgroup

none 64K 0 64K 0% /etc/network/interfaces.dynamic.d
/dev/sdb1 56G 97M 56G 1% /mnt
However, if I try to initialize a swapfile in /mnt, it still gets added to the available disk space in /dev/sda1.
What do I need to do to set up my swap file? An illustrative example would be great. Thanks in advance.
I normally use the following commands to set up a swapfile:
sudo fallocate -l 25G /swapfile
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile
Update:
I went into /etc/waagent.conf, and tweaked the followed:
# Format if unformatted. If 'n', resource disk will not be mounted.
ResourceDisk.Format=y
# File system on the resource disk
# Typically ext3 or ext4. FreeBSD images should use 'ufs2' here.
ResourceDisk.Filesystem=ext4
# Mount point for the resource disk
ResourceDisk.MountPoint=/mnt
# Create and use swapfile on resource disk.
ResourceDisk.EnableSwap=y
# Size of the swapfile.
ResourceDisk.SwapSizeMB=26000
After this, I resized (and consequently rebooted) my Azure VM from the portal. Currently I can't tell whether the settings have taken effect. Are my settings correct and what's the best way to ensure they've taken effect?
You are right, we should modify /etc/waagent.conf to add a swap file.
By modifying the /etc/waagent.conf file and setting the following 3 parameters a swap file will be created in the directory defined by ResourceDisk.MountPoint
ResourceDisk.Format=y
ResourceDisk.EnableSwap=y
ResourceDisk.SwapSizeMB=26000
Then we should restart walinuxagent:
service walinuxagent restart

I resized my VM, and the swap file does not lose.
Are my settings correct and what's the best way to ensure they've
taken effect?
After modify the /etc/waagent.conf and restart walinuxagent, we can use swapon -s to check it.
How to increase disk space of an instance without using EBS ? Root file system size is only showing 10 GB. Is there a way to create a bigger file system without EBS ?
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 9.9G 3.3G 6.1G 35% /
tmpfs 874M 0 874M 0% /lib/init/rw
udev 874M 84K 874M 1% /dev
tmpfs 874M 0 874M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sdb 335G 12G 307G 4% /mnt
As you can see in the output, a much bigger partition is mounted at /mnt. You can move some of the things on the root filesystem there by either remounting it at the appropriate location or add symlinks. There is no other way to add more diskspace if you don't want to resort to EBS or a network filesystem.
We are using Amazon EBS to store a large number of small files (<10KB) in a 3-level directory structure.

Block size: 4096
The number of inodes for the partition /vol are 13Million+. The block size is 4096. Taking the Block Size as 4096, the number of inodes the 200GB partition (ext3) should support is 52million+ (Maximum Inode Calculation: Volume size in bytes/2^12). So why does the partition only support 13million inode?
I'm pretty sure that inodes are allocated statically when you create the volume (using mfs.ext3 in this case). For whatever reason, mkfs.ext3 decided to reserve 13 Million inodes and now you can't create any more files.
See this 2001 discussion of inodes
The Wikipedia ext3 page has a footnote explaining this more concisely: wiki link
Also, inodes are allocated per file (not block), which is why there are only 13M inodes - mkfs.ext3 must have been configured with an average file size of 8 KB which would account for the issue you're seeing.
