Can anyone tell me if there are any files which are able to be removed. Also this /proc directory seems to have created itself. I am unable to remove this directory, I have tried rmdir -p but this does not work.
Apologies if there have been similar posts, I used the search function and couldn't see any.
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionPlease use the key "proc" within google to find an explanation and read a unix handbook explaining the basics before starting to delete something, like:
http://h30097.www3.hp.com/docs/base_doc/DOCUMENTATION/V51_HTML/MAN/MAN4/0201____.HTM
Use the search function within this forum to find a way to analyze why your filesystem is 100% full, use showfdmn instead of df (also explained if using search within this forum).
There are a lot of posting regarding this issue:

Re: root_domain 100% full
One of the most common causes of a full
root_domain, is a mistake made during the creation of a tar-archive, where the user misspelled the name of the output device.
The consequence is a large file somewhere in the /dev path.
Another one is the existence of a deleted but not properly closed temporary file in /tmp. Consequence is that the filename is not visible but the space is still reserved. Killing the application that did this migth liberate the space.

Re: root_domain 100% full
check for big files under the /etc directory.
check for big files under the /dev directory, as mentioned before, someone might have put the name of a tape drive wrong for example vdump /dev/nrnt0h /usr, this will backup the usr directory to a "file" named nrnt0h in the dev directory.

Re: root_domain 100% full
This tool will list open files on the system and will help you located files that have been opened and then the file name removed. You can use 'lsof' to look for open files in the root file system by typing "lsof /|grep -v -E 'VCHR||VDIR| txt '", which will exclude directory and character special files, and shared library files from the output. The last three columns are of the most interest: Size/Offset, INode and File Name. Check the items where the file size is unusually large or where there is no file name associated with the inode.
Finish the investigation by running a find command to locate the inodes for the files associated with the inodes:
find / -xdev -inum nnn
which will search only the root file system for files with an inode of nnn. Stopping the process associated with a large unlinked file should free up the space used by that file.

Re: root_domain 100% full
The reason I am concerned about the / filesystem being 100% is that I am about to upgrade the version of Tru64 from 5.1A to 5.1B, and I am worried the / being at 100% may affect being able to do this.
Can anyone confirm whether this will affect the upgrade?
Thank you

Re: root_domain 100% full
Your statement: "The reason I am concerned about the / filesystem being 100% is that I am about to upgrade the version of Tru64 from 5.1A to 5.1B, and I am worried the / being at 100% may affect being able to do this." is correct, with root at 100% you will not be able to upgrade from one release to another. You will need to find out the cause of the full condition and rectify it before you consider an upgrade. You may already be suffering from the side effects of a full root filesystem, in that e-mail is probably not working correctly, since most e-mail messages are managed as temporary files in /tmp.
Please use one or more of the troubleshooting methods listed in this discussion to find the cause of the full root filesystem before you consider either patches or an upgrade. The upgrade tool will probably fail without a minumum amount of space in root.
