Hi,

What not existing? /dev/root logical volume?

It looks you have booted the server into multiuser mode directly from LVM maintanance mode..

Run the below commands..

# vgchange -a y /dev/vg00
# mv /etc/mnttab /etc/mnttab.old
# mount -a

Anyway your root filesystem is 100% which needs to be cleaned up immediately.

#du -xk / |sort -nr |head -20 -> Will give the top 20 directories consumes more space on root.

Find if any core files and delete it.

#find / -xdev -name core

Hi


Thats true, your system is having the root Filesystem as filed up, you need to rmove somefiles or you will not be able to logon and also that it shall soon vause very big problems.

but the root seems to be mounted as /dev/root and not as /dev/vg00/lvol3

can you please post the /etc/fstab file , how this looks.

find for the any files with the name of core in the system and can remove.


#find / -name core

You are having a 10 GB root, can you also post the entire bdf and cat /etc/fstab
regards
sujit

Shalom,

Files don't belong on the / (root) file system.

Nothing bigger than a configuration file.

Root is for device files, configuration files, and folders for file system mounts.

actual data belongs elsewhere.

If you are doing system auditing, this defaults to root and needs to be directed to a mounted file system.

The du command will let you know where the big directories are.
