tombstones

[1900mcm]

If you wonder where some space has gone one your device it may be android cores. They can be deleted and doing so before a nandroid backup will probably save you some space.

I was trying to get a backup in CWM (bigrushdog rules version) and the backup kept crashing with the last line saying tombstone_02

My storage also showed 18g free and 10g used under settings - which i wondered why as i dont have any real media.

bit of investigating

adb shell ls -al /data/tombstones/*


# w------- system system 142437 2011-03-30 22:21 tombstone_00
# w------- system system 314 2011-04-02 20:32 tombstone_01
# w------- system system 9578463232 2011-04-03 00:00 tombstone_02
# w------- system system 76636 2011-04-03 15:30 tombstone_03
# w------- system system 251433 2011-04-04 15:43 tombstone_04
# w------- system system 209470 2011-04-05 23:00 tombstone_05
# w------- system system 178761 2011-04-06 23:09 tombstone_06
# w------- system system 166702 2011-04-07 19:55 tombstone_07
# w------- system system 164776 2011-04-15 23:20 tombstone_08


and there was the missing 9g of storage

did a

adb shell rm /data/tombstones/*

and was able to get my 1st nandroid backup

my data part now is an expected and respectable 550m
