Using Ubuntu 18.04 for deep learning purposes, but when i train the model and tried to download some Python packages it always shows there is no space. I followed some advice of doing df -h and here is what it shows.

It always shows that /dev/nvme0n1p8 has 19G and full used, is this what caused the problem? And also what's the difference between nvme0n1p8 and nvme0n1p7, why the distribution of the space so uneven? New to this file system so quite blur right now.

tmpfs           3.2G  1.8M  3.2G   1% /run

  • Use your 'disk usage analyzer' application to find out what is taking up all your space on that storage device. That application is installed with all Ubuntu desktop systems by default. – user535733 Dec 15 '19 at 15:08

    As it appears /dev/nvme0n1p8 is where your system is installed and /dev/nvme0n1p7 is an extra drive probably external. You need to free some space on /dev/nvme0n1p8 in order to be able to download and install packages. Find what consumes your space and try to move it to /dev/nvme0n1p7 which will free some space on /dev/nvme0n1p8 and enable you to install packages. – Raffa Dec 15 '19 at 15:28
  • Thanks, that helps. Can I ask how do i check what is consuming the space? @Raffa – Kevin Ling Dec 15 '19 at 16:34
  • Well, one way is to use your 'disk usage analyzer' application. – user535733 Dec 15 '19 at 22:34
  • Edit your question and show me a screenshot of gparted and cat /etc/fstab. Report back. Start comments to me with @heynnema or I may miss them. – heynnema Dec 16 '19 at 01:04
  • Or, is there any way to enlarge /dev/nvme0n1p8? like partition more disk space from n1p7 to n1p8? – Kevin Ling Dec 16 '19 at 03:35
  • Please follow the steps in my answer in the related link I posted above. After you decide on the directory that is consuming your storage the most, you can move its contents to a directory in n1p7 and create a symbolic link for it in n1p8. – Raffa Dec 16 '19 at 12:38
