Re: root file system is full
Hi, since this is popular issue in unix systems there is a lot of solution OR way to solve this;
the best thing to start is to find if there is a big unnecessary file(s):
# du -sk /* | sort -n
and besides, Chek this out:

Re: root file system is full
This is however just a temporary workaround, as the files will be recreated as soon as vgcfgbackup is run.

Re: root file system is full
an occasional typo when attempting to use a tape drive or something will create a file there.
there should be no type "files" in /dev/
find /dev -type f

Re: root file system is full

find /dev -type f
when I check my customer servers on this ,if they have a file under /dev ;
# find /dev -type f
/dev/gold:13676
/dev/gold:6608
/dev/gold:28011
/dev/gold:19954
/dev/gold:2811
/dev/gold:24681
/dev/stdout
/dev/gold:26399
/dev/gold:22079
/dev/gold:11302
# file /dev/gold:11302
/dev/gold:11302: English text
# ll /dev/gold:11302
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 106 Oct 12 12:33 /dev/gold:11302
this gold process might be unusual due to nature of GUI based access software we use, but I am not sure why gold process uses /dev ?? I do not know.

Re: root file system is full
Anything special about the contents, size and dates of those gold:* files? Also that stdout seems bogus.
(I just removed an old getty core file from mine.)

Re: root file system is full
I think the software we use (goglobal) to access servers via graphic facility uses /dev to pick broadcast messages record:
# ll /dev/gold:13859
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 105 Nov 24 17:54 /dev/gold:13859
# file /dev/gold:13859
/dev/gold:13859: English text
# cat /dev/gold:13859
*** FINAL System shutdown message from root@igui01 ***
System going down IMMEDIATELY
W ! ! !

Re: root file system is full
Try to see the file size of wtmp & utmo, might be possible they are occupying larger space, u can trim them.
see the old files in /etc/lvmconf and trim or remove those are old files.

Re: root file system is full
find / -size +10000c -xdev -exec ll {} \; |sort -rn -k 5 | more
to list the size of large files and take appropriate actions !!
