I am using Redhat 7 while running yum update
I am getting Bus error (core dumped)
error.
After troubleshooting I found that /
was full because of /var/cache/yum/x86_64/7server/rhel-x86_64-server-7/gen
folder.
Inside this folder below files contains GB of data.
I tried yum clean all
command to clean up the space but it is not working.
Can I manually delete these files?
Manual delete will cause any problem to yum ?
After successful installation, packages should be deleted from the yum cache.
You should check in the file /etc/yum.conf
, whether the keepcache
setting
is 1
instead of 0
.
The RedHat post
Maybe you want: rm -rf /var/cache/yum
says that
the command yum clean all
gives the impression that enabled and disabled/removed
repos are cleaned but in reality, performs only these tasks:
The fix in RHBA-2017:2295 should have added a reminder for this command saying:
Maybe you want: rm -rf /var/cache/yum, to also free up space taken by orphaned data from disabled or removed repos
In any case, whatever your situation, you can issue the recommended command:
rm -rf /var/cache/yum

Manual deletion is quite safe and will not cause problems with yum
. This is fine:
rm -rf /var/cache/yum
You can also check this post on other steps that may help in clearing disk space.
