Re: Root FS is full
Few things to look for.
files deleted but apps still have file handles open. If you close the app you get the space back.
fuser -cu /
Hidden file trick.
A folder is created, files are put in it and then a filesystem is mounted on it. Space is used, files are not accessible. Go single user to fix this.
du -k | sort -rn | more
To identify visible files.

Re: Root FS is full
Re: Root FS is full
The root fs on HP-UX must be contiguous and can not be increased.
You can do an Ignite make_tape_recovery or make_net_recovery backup, recover the system and intervene in the recovery to make root larger.
However as Bill Hassell says, root is not supposed to have data files in it. 500 MB free is quite enough for HP-UX root.
Best to stop storing data in root and store it in a mounted filesystem.

Re: Root FS is full
Look for core files. Look for any recent files in / that would be better in a dedicated filesystem.

Re: Root FS is full
You really need to get this system into single user mode.

Re: Root FS is full
Since, this is in cluster try to check the /etc/cmcluster directory. There my be some log files that are taking up space.
As per above comments, use du. I would suggest use # du -sk /*
then check the directories other than the mounted filesystems.

Re: Root FS is full
As told earlier, run (post the output here)
#du -akx / | sort -n | more
to check for size of each and every file under 'root (/)'sorted in ascending order by size. Probably, there could be some log file which is using up space.

Re: Root FS is full
Re: Root FS is full
please stop telling people, that this is not possible. It is.. if you have mirrored disks.
It's not very hard to do.
And it's described very deeply in the forum.
If you don't trust my desciption you maybe trust Geoff Wilds description at http://www.met.ca/itrc/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=89&Itemid=2
All your other statements are true but this one is not!
My 2 cents,
Armin
