Re: Root filesystem size problem
temp files would be the cause of the issue.
Please check wether the system has a separate /tmp filesystem or it is part of the / ( root ) filesystem. I supspect this !
With Regards,
Siva.

SolutionIf /tmp is in the list then itâ s a separate file system, otherwise its part of the root file system. Having it part of the root file system is generally a bad idea because you don't really want to fill up your root file system but filling up /tmp is less an issue and easier to recover from.
Something else to consider is the progress db home directory, whether its on the root file system or not, the db could be creating a startup, run, or shutdown log somewhere that gets removed and re-created when the db restarts.
I have a sneeking suspicion that this is one of those things that you are probably never going to see again but if you do here is a good way to check it.
Run this command before and after you start the database to get an idea of where and what is taking up space on the root file system
du -xk / | sort -nr | head -50 > /tmp/du_before.out
After you restart the db and the space is back to 40% free run the same command except redirect it to /tmp/du_after.out and compare the first few lines of the out files. That should tell you where the log files or what ever are.

Re: Root filesystem size problem
I hope you don't have the DB in the root filesystem. Nothing should be in the root filesystem except OS directories and mountpoints.
As mentioned above, you may have some process writing a temp file to root. Not a good idea. Find the process and change it to write to /tmp. That's what /tmp is there for.
Also, check your .bi and .ai files. As I remember, they can grow quite large, if they are not configured correctly. Use promon to check your configuration.
Regards,
Mark
