root file system full
I have an AS4100 running Tru64 UNIX V 4.0G that has root file system full at 102%.
I tried everything that is mentioned in the forums to delete unwanted files, but it is still full, I can't get it to decrese the space used.
Any thoughts...ideas...things I missed?

Re: root file system full
find / -mount -size +500k -exec ls -g {} \;
-mount
will find files on the same file system as the current starting path name so it will NOT go down /usr and so on.
-size +2000k
Start out looking at the somewhat bigger (2MB) files.
It may find a stray tar/dump or core file.
Perhaps a few too many vmunix versions?
- exec ls -f {} \;
show details for matching files.
Once you explained the biggies, take it a step down like:
find / -mount -size -2000k -size +500k
(any file on /rz8a between 1/2MB and 2MB)
hth,
Hein.

Re: root file system full
1. Is there a reason, you use ufs?
2. / is quite small, you should increase it.
3. There is more than 50mb difference between du and df. Boot machine in single user mode and look for files in the mount points, which are now hidden by the mounted file systems.
greetings,
Michael

Re: root file system full
delete old kernels lying around and use
du -k /. Have a closer look to the /tmp and /dev directory.

Re: root file system full

Re: root file system full
when you delete a file, that is opened by a process, the space is not released. du is fooled by the absence of the file and does not count the space. Please boot the machine into single user mode and look into the mount directories for files.

Michael

Re: root file system full
Yeah, good point. I forgot to mention that.
Let's say you had /tmp with a few file in it.
No you create a new device and mount on /tmp.
The old files there will be 'hidden'.
But you do not APPEAR to have a mountpoint that qualifies for that. Still...
The 'big' file list shows nothing excessive really. It suggestes some moving/cleanup in /sys/binary.
but really, as others wrote, maybe / was just made too small.
next step would be
find -s /* -mount
or
find -s /*/* -mount
That will point you to the directories that have enough block to worry about.
Hein.
