AdvFS domain tmp_domain is full

[Danesh Qureshi]

I have received the folliowing message that the tmp_domain file system is full.

I have been looking to free some space but unable to find anything obvious.

Can anyone suggest what I could use to free some space?

I have attached a file showing the output of df -k.

As I can see this should be /var/tmp
It was full but it is not right now.
Maybe some application use /var/tmp as temporary directory.
What applications are running on that server?

Double check if the space reported by df is the same as du -sk.

Also, check if you are runing out of inodes with df -i.

You could use /sbin/advfs/vdf (instead of df)command to get more accurate details.

just check if thers is difference between df and du output.If yes find by lsof which is the large file open and kill the [process which has that file opened.
Hope this help.

The file system was freed up by the database administrator who had created a large amount of data.

Thank you for all your help.
