SolutionI am sure you mistype something in backup if this happen just after you start backup
/dev/rmt/ has all your space.
Some how your backup didn't went to tape but as a file in to the /dev/rmt/c?t?d????

Re: root partition full
Look for entries that have /dev/dsk/vg## in the last column these are processes that can still be writing even though space has been cleared up. In my case it was a glance process. An example of the lsof is
emsagent 1502 root 0w VREG 64,0x2 47387 1884 / (/dev/vg00/l
vol3)
where=emsagent is the process name
1502= is the process number
/ = the filesystem that is being written to
/dev/vg00/lvol3=gives an inidication that the problem could be there.
By killing the process giving me problems I went from 97% full to 65%.
Hope this helps.

Re: root partition full
Generally, core file is the first thing to check if I were you,
find / -name core -exec ll {} \;
Another point: you can use search function of this forums, just put "full" as key word, I am sure you can find more useful threads.
Good luck.

Re: root partition full
If you were doing backups when your root filesystem space disappeared, it is very likely that you mis-keyed the tape device file name, leading to the creation of a large, space-consuming file.
A common typographical error would be substituting the letter "o" for the number "0" as in "/dev/rmt/om" instead of "/dev/rmt/0m".
Look for regular files in the /dev/rmt directory that don't belong. Remember that files in this directory should be character special files, not regular files, and thus should have modes that look like "crw-rw-rw-".

Re: root partition full
large files. The command
du -a | sort -r -n | more
usually lists the problem file in the first few entries.
As noted above if you see a file in /dev here a file
got lost on its way to a device.
If space doesn't open up when you delete the file
check to make sure there isn't a process writting
to the file. lsof is the tool of choice.

Re: root partition full
try this little shell-script to find out your
largest files.
