Hello...!!

The output command by bdf display:
Filesystem kbytes used avail %used Mounted on
/dev/vg00/lvol3 204800 202960 1840 99% /

Is over full the path /, I will need delete files or reorder or increase the file system ?

try looking under /dev for anything other than a device file...

find /dev -type f -exec file {} \;

common problem is if someone when to backup files to a tape device, but had a type-o.

be sure you search the itrc forums for "file system full" and such. You'll find tons of info to help cleanup your root filesystem.

If there's nothing to remove and you need to extend root, search the forums for "extend root filesystem". You should also see several threads on that subject.

hope this helps,
