Issue/Introduction

The /home partition is used for many things including a temporary location for extractions, CSRs and other system files.  There are processes that clean up these files automatically, but if there is a problem, disk space can get above the threshold.  Disk space utilization can be seen using the 'df -h' command from the CLI and looking for the /home partition.  If it is above 80%, this is cause for concern.

Cause

This could be caused by a variety of things.  Although deleting files out of /home is usually not harmful, checking with technical support is always a good idea.

Resolution

Check some of the culprit directories such as /home/csr/ directory.  Any csr files can be deleted using the 'rm -rf' command.  

Contact technical support for more guidance.
