/home file system full
Model: 9000/800/rp3440
Main Memory: 6142 MB
Processors: 2
OS mode: 64 bit
B.11.11
/dev/vg00/lvol4 1048576 55600 985240 5% /home
- The /home file system normal size is 5% used.
- There are some big startlog under the user's .dt folder.
- There are also some core files
- Despite the startlog are zeroed and the core removed, the %used is 70%.
- du . -k | sort -n shows no other big files under /home
- all the applications are stopped but the size is the same.
- Once the server is rebooted, the file system gets its original size (5%)
- It seems that there is some process using the file system resources.
- The situation repeats every 11 days aprox.
- top shows a lot of dtfiles processes on top running (see below)
- the fuser -u /home command shows the most common process running: /bin/csh -c unsetenv _ PWD (44) ; /usr/bin/ksh /usr/dt/bin/Xsession (42) ; /usr/dt/bin/dtsession (42) ; dtfile -noview (40) ; dtwm (42).
- Attached there is a spreadsheet with the list of process fuser -u /home before the reboot.
Is it possible to easily identify the process that is causing the file system gets full?
Thanks and reagards,
Juan.

There must be one process that that's still running. It may be dtfiles.

Right. The right tool is lsof, not fuser.
