FileSystem /var It is 97% used

[Russell Cannon]

How about checking /var/.audit (slash var DOT audit). This can grow very large when auditing is enabled.

Have you run cleanup(1m) yet? Most of these are patch save areas.

You might be able to remove all but the latest of:
/var/opt/hpsmdb/pgsql/pg_xlog/*

[Eli Daniel]

what is the best option?
1 - run cleanup-c 1
2 - delete these files

[James R. Ferguson]

Hi (again):

> what is the best option?

2 - delete these files

Why don't you run 'cleanup' as I have suggested and *see* how much space is returned!

As for "delete these files", I presume you mean '/var/opt/hpsmdb/pgsql/pg_xlog/*' as Dennis mentioned.

Do what you like or do both! You have a very nearly full filesystem that isn't going to improve unless you *do something*.
