Nimble CS500 issue with scratch is out of space.

[karlk83]

Any suggestions on how to get some space on the  Array
Array ProdArray: /scratch is out of space.

The Data Service stopped unexpectedly on the array, system will try to recover from this failure. For the several seconds that the recovery takes, data access will be affected.

Below is one of the workaround to clear up some space in scratch. (Make sure you dont delete any files which are necessary / important)

Check the files in scratch  location if any unwanted large files

Nimble-B:/# df -h /scratch
Nimble-B:scratch# ls -lh

Check the /scratch/diags/cores and /scratch/diags/cores_preprocessed/ directories for any cores.

Delete the unnecessary core files to free space starting with older ones first until there is at least 75% free in /scratch.
Once you have identified the top offending files, assess which core files to delete and cleanup cores accordingly.
Check to see if there are any recent events; older ones are candidates to delete first.

Example:
 rm /shared/processed-cores/core_dsd_atm.tar

Im running into the same issue with our CS500 being out of /scratch space.  I cant seem to find a scratch folder when I ssh into the CS500 and use the ls command at root.  Is this located elsewhere or needs to be mounted?

Thanks you,

/scratch should be mounted by default and you may verify by using df -h
