Hi (been playing around again

Solaris 10


im messing around with my solaris 10, and i have done a nice thing to fill up the /, now i just get in dmesg "notice: alloc /: file system is full".

How i did it im not sure, no swap files are added, and i dont remember adding any big files either...

df -h shows
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 siz=29 used=29 mounted on /



Thanks for advice...

Well, the advice would be to clean unnecessary files, or to move them elsewhere.

You have no idea about what is taking all this space ?

i have no clue...hehe....i have just been messing around as allways...

but when i was typing i did a du -h check, and i remember i did have fune with dd command, and i have made a file in the /dev dir that is 28 gb.....heheh....well, learn by mistakes..


Thanks...



Ole

hehe,, just had the paste this...

-bash-3.00# df -h
Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 29G 16384E 55G 61586813333752% /

ctfs 0K 0K 0K 0% /system/contract

mnttab 0K 0K 0K 0% /etc/mnttab
swap 953M 1008K 952M 1% /etc/svc/volatile
objfs 0K 0K 0K 0% /system/object
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 9,6G 3,2G 6,4G 34% /usr
fd 0K 0K 0K 0% /dev/fd
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s4 9,6G 102M 9,4G 2% /var
swap 953M 320K 952M 1% /tmp
swap 952M 40K 952M 1% /var/run
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7 9,6G 9,8M 9,5G 1% /export/home
-bash-3.00#


now thats a nice Solairs feature much more avail than capacity....hehe

Hmmm, not a know feature, I would advice you to boot in failsafe mode and run fsck on the / filesystem.

If you used the default partitions solaris 10 sets up they are too small. Solaris has always done this. The bad thing is you will need to reinstall to fix it. When you do resize the / partition to atleast 5gb. Most packages install in the opt directory which is on the / partition.

But not the OP, who has allocated 29 GB for /, which is fine.
There are other ways than reinstalling if you have enough space available elsewhere (another partition or another disk).

well first off look for any 'core' files and get rid of them
what I usually do is,
starting at the root of the full up filesystem
get the sizes in order and drill down cleaning out the biggest stuff

probably loads of rubbish in /var
failed patches and whatnot.
if you use the updater and try to do too many at once it
will fill up var with loads of patch files
