It was stating device busy...so I moved to /

and issued command

#mv /gpms_f/GPMSFOF/product/product ../

And this has now filed / filesystem. How can I clear this down without losing /gpms_f/GPMSFOF/product/product

A quick response would be appreciated.

Basically I have got a product directory that needs to be moved up one directory onto the old product. In /gpms_f/GPMSFOF/product/

Please Help !!

/gpms_f/GPMSFOF/product/product

above is where it is now and you need to move it to

/gpms_f/GPMSFOF/product

# mv /gpms_f/GPMSFOF/product/product /gpms_f/GPMSFOF/temp_name

check if this is ok

# mv /gpms_f/GPMSFOF/temp_name /gpms_f/GPMSFOF/temp_name/product

The temp_name didnt work, ran out of disk space.

Your were right in saying
I want to move the product directory..

/gpms_f/GPMSFOF/product/product

Up one into..

/gpms_f/GPMSFOF/product

/dev/vg_xp_ffd_code01/lvol_ffd_product
56885248 15774816 40901248 28% /gpms_f/GPMSFOF/product

ok /gpms_f/GPMSFOF/product is a mountpoint.

# cd /gpms_f/GPMSFOF/product/product

Check with pwd

# mv * /gpms_f/GPMSFOF/product

# cd ..

# ls -la

# rmdir product

# pwd
/gpms_f/GPMSFOF/product

Ah... /gpms_f/GPMSFOF/oradata is a mount point.

You'll have to eliminate the oradata directory below it by moving everythign from that directory directly to the mountpoint.
This should take no time, and no space.

#mv /gpms_f/GPMSFOF/oradata/oradata/* /gpms_f/GPMSFOF/oradata

now you should ba able to remove the now empty directory.

#rmdir /gpms_f/GPMSFOF/oradata/oradata

hth,
Hein.
