Problem with open files

[Shannon Petry]

If the file was successfully deleted, then you have no choice but to reboot. Kernel trace will not show the open files partent, but only the open file itself. lsof may be able to find it for you, but since lsof uses kernel tracing Im not sure if it will find it.

Like someone else mentioned, use a file zeroing technique in the future to avoid these problems.

I.E.
cat /dev/null >filename
#use with caution!

Hi Manoj,

For finding the openfiles in a system download a utility "lsof". This utility will lists you no of open files.

lsof: List open files.

I have this utility mail me and send you utility through mail.
