100% used of the /

[ATHANASOPOULOS PANAGIOT]

I have a cluster with 2 HP-UX servers. One server of those when I installed some patches has 100% full the /.

What I can delete?Is the core file needed?

The other server although, the same patches was installed it has a 73% percentage used.

You can move core files to a bigger partition if you need it for analysis. Otherwise, you can delete them.

Hi,

Apart from core files there may be some other big files accidentally created under /.

Find out these using du command.

#du |sort -rnk 1

Do this in /dev , /etc and other directories under /.

There may be some backup file created in /dev by mistake.

It will sort the file with sizes.

HTH,

Hi,

You need to check the timestamp of the core file first. If the core file's timestamp is updated, you can log a call to HP to analyze the core file. To be safe, it's better if you backup the core file before you remove it.

If the root (/) file system still 100% after you do the housekeeping, the other solution is to increase the size by using Ignite/UX's features.

Hope this information can help you.

Cheers,

Hi,

Here are the log files that can be trim :

/etc/eisa/config.err
/etc/eisa/config.log
/etc/rc.log
/etc/rc.log.old
/etc/shutdownlog

You can use SAM for this processes :

SAM > routine tasks > system log files

Hope this information can help you.

Hi ,

Use the following command to find out the files which is residing in / filesystem.

Hi Athanasopoulos,

Also look in /etc/lvmcof there should be lot of old lvm configuration files from all logical volumes. You can move all *.old files to another directory.

Hi ATHANASOPOULOS PANAGIOTI,

1.The core file can be removed unless until you are not going to analyse the same.

2.Please remove all the old config files in /etc/lvmconf

3. find the recently created/modified files and check for the sizes.

cheers
