Hi,

You should try to find what filled up your /var. One way to do this is with this command:

find /var -type f -exec ls -s1 {} \; | sort -k1,1nr | more

The no. on the left is in KBs.

You may want to start new versions of the following files if they're large.

/var/adm/binary.errlog

# rm -f /var/adm/binary.errlog
# touch /var/adm/binary.errlog
# kill -HUP

/var/adm/messages

# rm -f /var/adm/messages
# touch /var/adm/messages

Don't remember if there's any daemon that has to be signaled with '-HUP'.

You can overwite them with an empty file.

When you do the following operations, you certainly do not have to restart the error logger, because the files are not (re)moved.

# cp /dev/null /var/adm/binary.errlog

# cp /dev/null /var/adm/messages

If needed you can cp the old content into an archive before overwriting them.
