/var 99%

[Sundararajan Anandhan]

Pedro,

If /var is filling up , the following are the things that you should do..

1. find /var -name core
( Remove the unwanted core files..)

2. find /var -size +10000 -xdev -exec ll {} ;
( To get files larger than specified.. and find out who's created and delete them..)

3. There is a command called 'cleanup' from hp to cleanup the patch leftovers..
You can use this to cleanup the patches and free space

4. If you use hfs , you can set the minfree to 5% or less to increase the avail. space.

tunefs -m 5 /dev/vgXX/lvolX

Hope this help.

Regards,
Sundar

Oracle 8.0.5, if running on your machine, could be the culprit. Check /var/tmp for files that end with .t and .TMP.
