Hi Atul ,

Try to find out the largest files and core files on the filesystem and do house keep if possible othewise extend the filesystem (depends the situation)

fyi:-

To find out largest files/directories of the filesystem

#du -ak /filesystem |sort -rn |head -n 30


Thanks,
Aneesh

he aneash ;

if you make a patch mangemnt recently . your /var/adm/sw/save director will be most occupiers in the var. if you dont want to rollback any patches you can delete superseeded patches in that directory by
"cleanup -c 1"

you can look at which director is filling /var by
"du -sk /var/* | sort -rnk 1"

Hasan.
please assign points.

also check whether you have any dumps saved in /var/adm/crash. If there are, and they are not relevant, delete them
