/var is full and yum clean not working to clean up space
Issue
- The
/varfilesystem is at 100% - For example: it is 8 Gib in size, 7.8 Gib of it is in/var/cache/yum. - I have tried to run
yum clean dbcacheandyum clean metadata, but the last one has been running for over 18 hours and I see nothing removed. - I executed
yum clean allsuccessfully, but the/var/cache/yumstill show the same disk usage on cache files.
