Taking make tape backup while the root file system is nearing full
One of my server's root file system (/) is 85% filled up. And now i'm gonna take make_tape backup. During this backup in lvmconf folder there will be some vg.old file and will increase root file system.
How will i avoid this?

Re: Taking make tape backup while the root file system is nearing full
You an always remove (or move to another directory) the '/etc/lvmconf/vg*.old' fiiles before you begin the 'make_tape_recovery'. Then, the current files will be renamed "*.old" and new backups will be created.

Re: Taking make tape backup while the root file system is nearing full
you can safely move those file's to some other filesystem. it will be recreated.

Re: Taking make tape backup while the root file system is nearing full
You should do this:
du -k | sort -rn | more
From /
Identify the location of some large files and clear them out.
The root fs is not a place where regular files besides some configuration files belong.
make_tape_backup however stores its temporary files in /var filesystem and should be able to be run under these circumstances.

Re: Taking make tape backup while the root file system is nearing full
You can also check for unlinked files. These are the files that were deleted but some processes are connecting to. They consume filesystem space until their processes get killed.
What is the output of:
# lsof +D / +L1 | awk '$8 == "0" || /NLINK/'
