vxfs: msgcnt 218 mesg 001: V-2-1: vx_nospace - /dev/root file system full (1 block extent)
I checked again and I only see about 143MB of /etc and 158MB of /sbin and the size of my /dev/root is about 590MB.
Before planning a reboot of the system I would like to know if there's any other option.
Thank you very much in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: My system thinks /dev/root is full when it isn't
probably you need to stop that process to regain the space.
check with lsof using the pid of the process who writes to the log you deleted, and look for big numbers in the SIZE/OFF column.

Re: My system thinks /dev/root is full when it isn't
The log file that you deleted, was still being consumed by a running process. This process is still trying to write to that deleted log file.
Try this:
cd /
# touch filename
# find / -xdev -type f -newer /tmp/aslam -exec ls -l {} +|sort -rnk5|head
You will get a file with no name, BUT, it will have an inode. Use ls -li / I to verify the inode number and file exits.
Now use 'lsof' or 'fuser' to id the pid and kill the process. Which is ultimately what you want.
Note that a reboot would be much easier.

Huh? If the file is deleted find(1) won't find it.
>Now use 'lsof' or fuser(1m) to id the PID and kill the process.
Yes, this is what you'll need to use.

Re: My system thinks /dev/root is full when it isn't
I just restarted the process and everything went right, so the problem is fixed.
Thanks again and best regards.
