I experienced a slowdown of some processes on my CentOS box. They did not use too much cpu cycles according to top. The only thing I have seen unusual was that my /home partition was 95% full.

Could this cause the slowdown of my processes? How?

    Be careful, it is likely to have 5% of space reserved by the filesystem. If that's the case, you are lucky to even be able to log in at all. A lot of processes could be trying to write on `/home`, it would a good idea to check this as well. How do you check the partition occupation? Could you add to your question the output of `df -h` and `iostat`? – Paradox Mar 29 '19 at 07:06
  • Could you add as well the output of `tune2fs -l /dev/partition | grep 'Reserved'` where `partition` is your `home` e.g. `sda2`? – Paradox Mar 29 '19 at 07:23
  • I moved some large directories to another, large disk so the output would not be meaningful anymore, but thanks. – Gergely Mar 29 '19 at 07:49
  • And it solved your problem? Would you be still be interested in an answer? – Paradox Mar 29 '19 at 09:02
  • Once home I run the commands – Gergely Mar 29 '19 at 09:03
