/etc/init.d/mysql: ERROR: The partition with /var/lib/mysql is too full!

Hi,

After a couple of days running linuxMCE 0710 RC2 i get this message /etc/init.d/mysql: ERROR: The partition with /var/lib/mysql is too full!

The problem is, that i can't start mysql anymore, anyone any ideas?

Ps. I already checked with df -h if there was low diskspace on my 160 gb hdd and i don't have any space left but this happened in a few hours, and i can't see in which directory or file the size is in.

Start from the root (/) directory and run

Code:

du -cms *|sort -n

the biggest folders/files should be at the bottom, drill down by changing into the "big" directories and repeat.

Or maybe somebody else has a better way...
