Out of disk space on new Linode - Ubuntu 12.04LTS
Today I tried to create a database and it told me I was out of space, in MySQL's own very cryptic way.
My Linode has the following on it:
LAMP
WordPress 3.6
A new Wordpress site
The Wordpress site is small - really small. I had a couple other test sites on there that I removed. Anyone have ideas as to what could be eating at the disk space? I have IP Tables configured so I don't think I was hacked.
I'm not even sure how to tell what's taking up the space….
Thanks!

What do you get when you run 'df -h' (without quotes)?
What size Linode do you have?
MSJ
The command you told me to run - what's that doing exactly? What's the best way to determine space consumption on Ubuntu? I'm still learning Linux - grew up with Novell Netware and Windows Server. =)
Running 'df -h' would show you the size of your disc(s) and their percentage of free space.
I'm glad it was as simple as a typo when setting up your Linode. Certainly easier to handle than a major disc issue
