Your Question , its not clear, no such things like release space under / root file system

by execution of the above command shown previous post will help shed light on your Question or problem,

>>Root FS getting full<< ?

there could be many reasons for above Questions

does any of your application "logs, data" pointed to write to / root file system ..?

due have any core file created ..?

One of the first things I look for in the '/' file system is a "real" file in the /dev directory.

Do this:

# cd /dev
# find . -type f | xargs ls -l

If this returns anything then examine it closely. There should be nothing other than device files in the /dev directory structure.

Re: Root FS getting full

bullz — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 15:35:51 GMT

Best way.

cd /
du -akx | sort -nr | more

will list the list of huge files on top.

Re: Root FS getting full

Michael Steele_2 — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 16:35:34 GMT

Hi

/etc/opt/resmon/logs/*

These are the only log files that I know of under / root, and they are apart of the EMS diagnostics. You should be able to trim the tops and remove the OLD logs.

du -sk / | sort -rn | more

Du will list biggest files

quot /

Quot will subtotal files by owners

cd /
touch filename
find . -newer filename

-newer will find runaway processes

find / -size +10000000c -xdev -exec ll {} \;

-size will find files > +10000000c
