Server froze. Rebooted. Can just get a command prompt. Error 28 when I run a command. Need to delete something. Suggestions?
 
Hi,
error 28 usually means that there is no disk space left. Try using e.g. du -hs * | sort -h recursively, starting at / and find what is taking up your space. Older log files in /var/log are usually good candidates to start with, just so you have at least a bit of space right away.
 
Deleted all on log but still the same. cant run apt-get -y autoclean as there is not enough room to run it!!!! i had a command that i found in the forums that frees up the space but cant remember it, where it is!! i lost it with reinstall. bit crazy that a system like proxmox would just choke itself like this, not exactly produciton environment software.

du cmmand above producess error on some folders i think, it doesnt find anything big.
 
What is the output of df -h and df -ih Another good place might be cleaning old packages in /var/cache/apt/archives.
