Resolution

To recover from this error, free up space on the root partition using these steps:

  1. Open a Terminal window.
  2. Type cd /var/log.
  3. Type sudo ls -lh to view a list of directory files and the size of each file (this might require root access).
  4. Look for files that use a large amount of space, perhaps 100KB or larger.
  5. Delete the large files by typing sudo rm immediately folllowed by the filename. For example, type sudo rm tw_mgmt.log.
  6. Type cd /var/log/samba.
  7. Repeat steps 3 to 5 in this location to list, find, and remove large files.
