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.


Regards,
