Audacity said that the disc was short of space and just sat there doing nothing. So I killed the task and looked at the space with 'df'.
It shows that /dev/sdb5 has zero space left. Here's the relevant output from df :-
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on devtmpfs 3.0G 0 3.0G 0% /dev tmpfs 3.0G 1.4M 3.0G 1% /dev/shm tmpfs 3.0G 940K 3.0G 1% /run /dev/sdb5 7.6G 7.2G 0 100% / /dev/sdb7 7.6G 5.6G 1.7G 78% /usr tmpfs 3.0G 0 3.0G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup tmpfs 3.0G 88K 3.0G 1% /tmp /dev/sdb8 849G 202G 647G 24% /home tmpfs 597M 12K 597M 1% /run/user/1000
So where has the 7.6 gigs worth of space gone on sdb5 or am I looking in the wrong place ?
try du -x -d 2 / as superuser as a start to what has used the space.
