Why PHP script took up all the disk space?

Question

linux

After running a php script that parsed a huge text, the free disk space disappeared.
You can see on screenshots. It looks like the place has disappeared.

Answer 1

Classic stackoverflow.
It seems to me that the swap "inflated" due to the use of standard PHP functions on non-standard data volumes. Those. the algorithm is not designed to work with input data of such a volume.
Look for: where is your bottleneck function in the algorithm code.

Answer 2

Swap on disk?
Naparsil in memory/swap/temporary files?

Answer 3

Maybe the script created a lot of small files and ran out of inodes?

Answer 4

cd /home
du -hd1

finds the largest directory in the output cd into it again du -hd1
and so on until we find the last one where everything was poured
