Can't access Server

Anyone has any idea on how to access the server if the disk space is full?

2 Replies

For starters:

  • How have you determined that the disk space being full is the issue?

  • How are you attempting to access your Linode? SSH? What, if any, errors messages are you receiving?

  • What happens if you attempt to connect via Lish? https://linode.com/docs/networking/using-the-linode-shell-lish/

  • Assuming you can access it via Lish, what does the output of df -h look like?

Just tacking on to what smallclone said, you can also boot the Linode into Rescue Mode, mounting the disks, chrooting in, and investigating that way. That will allow you to investigate further if logging in regularly through the Lish console does not help.
