Not enough disk space to install lsof, which I need to discover which process to kill to free up my disk

Had a runaway log file that filled up my disk space. I was able to identify and delete it, but it would seem that it is still in use somewhere as df -h shows my disk as 160G/160G used even though the file I deleted was 146G. This issue and other solutions advise using lsof, but that isn't present on my system. Running yum install lsof (running CentOS 7) fails due to not having enough disk space.



Any suggestions on how to free up this phantom disk space?

  • rebooting will kill the process (and finish deleting the file). you can probably install lsof before it fills up again :-)

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
