100 % fulled

[oprakash]

Hi,

I am getting 100 % fulled in / filesystem

Error MSG: vxfs: mesg 001: vx_nospace - /dev/root file system full (1 block extent)

Hi,

Check with find command any big files are there or not
or somebody move some big folder in /
or use lsof to find out the open files in /

Suraj,

Thanks suraj, wat i did is i have started some backup. And suddently it goes to 100 %.
Please help

Hi,

this means you've a typo error in your backup command - check /dev or /dev/rmt for big files.
Or check your last backup command.
Then you'll find the file.

Hi Prakash,

Find the large files using the below command and hose keep the unwanted ones.

# find / -xdev -depth -type f -exec ls -l {} \;|sort -rnk5 |more

please paste your bdf output.

use df command and check which file is biggera and not usefull. Delete it.

If no way then you need to increase the size of /

1. you may take latest ignite back up and restore. then modify the size.

2. Use reducing the size of swap and increasing / .( risky)

3. Use DRD and increase the size ( Risky).

Is it a tar backup ?

Check it out by
#tar -tvf /dev/rmt/0m --> to list (substitute with correct device file)

#tar -xvf /dev/rmt/0m /dump
