Solaris 10 ufs full
 

Hi all,

I need your help.
My NIS server running on solaris 10 has a problem.
The / filesystem is at 100%, I have tried to find the that are taking most the space, but only managed to free up 600 MB.

Could you please help me.


Regards,

I cant find a file that is taking most of the space. can this be a bug or something!?

Thanks Guys.

We managed to solve the problem.
We put the server in single mode and executed the command: df -k.
We found a directory taking most of the space, and removed the dirctory. apparently he was replicating this directory somehow.
We'll keep monitoring to find out what's going on.


Cheers...

The /seismic directory is using 83% of the used space on your root file system. There are plenty of files (or directories) with the .gridexp suffix. One way to free space on / would be to move this data to another file system and configure the "seismic" application to use this new location.

OK.
Thanks for the tip. Will make the necessary arrangements.
