on osf1 v5.1b i get a daily mail warning me that root_domain is full.
1)df -h shows root_domain is 65% free
2)I can't (re)boot or "init S" so can't safely use quotacheck on root_domain
3)some days ago root_domain may have been full but that situation lasted some minutes (as df -h showed)
q1) how does the cron'ed mail realize that the FS is full?
q2) do you know how to resolve this problem?
hints: in kernel tuning parameters there should be something about the frequency of disk syncronization...
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: advfs (not) full
do you still have problems with space?
Have you tried the vdf command?
What does du -ksx / say?
greetings,
Michael

Re: advfs (not) full
The command to use would be:
# quotacheck -v /

Re: advfs (not) full
it seems the original poster need an instruction how to use the search function within the forum. The question was ask several times - but he has not check it.
This is the reason why he used commands like df etc. so get the size of an advfs domain.
Btw. a search within google with the same keyword leads to the same question and many answered within other forums (osf.managers etc.).... hell how complicated must be a search engine ;-)

Re: advfs (not) full
sorry not to have been fully RTFM compliant but to be this way I would have never posted anything :-)
Anyway sure I already take a look at google and ITRC (even if I could have missed the right page). So I know about quotacheck and vdf that both gave the same output: root_domain is not full.
Prior to run quotacheck (which surely will work) I read the manual and I found the following:
---quote from man quotacheck---
It is
recommended that system filesets /, /usr, /var be checked in single-user
mode, due to possible system background activity on these filesets in
multi-user mode.
---end of quote
so I posted my question, which I re-ask clearly:
which command does EVM use to get Disk Usage?
Hoping not to have posted a lamer question,
cheers & Peace,
R.

Re: advfs (not) full
I think you've got the answer to your q2.
still curious about q1, how you got notified,
the way evm knew root was full is that by default there is a event channel connects to evm daemon. once some evm is produced, then is delivered to evm system, after that email notification is triggered to root account usually. we use /.forwarder to our desktop mailbox to keep alert about such things.
Cheers !

Re: advfs (not) full
and thank you very much.
Is there a way to trap the evm signal?
What can I do to make evm recognize the right free space?
Peace, R.

Solutionplease have a look at the bottown of /etc/evmlogger.conf and "#man evmlogger" and more man evm. that's place to you may interested in.
BTW, i don't think evm mistook the root full event. what could happen is eg.
1. DB backup borrows disk space from / to shuffle around the files ;-) ( they have root access ).
2. TMPDIR points to root fs by some root users ?
what's the cause ? when you saw
"3)some days ago root_domain may have been full but that situation lasted some minutes (as df -h showed)"
looks to me, some processes/users are jumping on root fs.
Good luck !

Re: advfs (not) full
I had already read the evm man thinking I should find something about advfs. But it was not the case.
Here's the whole story which I get thru evmget.
1)I took from mail the evmchannel that returns the error (evmlog)
2) issue
#evmget -A -C evmlog
and got the log of following error:
AdvFS: AdvFS domain root_domain is full
vmunix: /: file system full
binmail[343155]: Cannot write to temporary file /tmp/ma1JLVdo. No space left on device
EVM: Mark event
so it was a "binmail" fault
3) in var_domain I check that there were huge spool/mail files (their size was bigger than the free space of root_domain)
3a) I suppose that when a user logs in, binmail tried to copy the mail file in /tmp
3b) being /tmp on root_domain he failed to copy that files and gets the "disk full"
3c) being unable to copy the whole file he cancel the copy leaving root_domain free (as df command has always shown)
4) removed huge (and unuseful) spool/mail files, and 'till now I've not seen any error.
Thank you very much again!
Peace, R.
1) root_domain was not full
