Daniel,
See the largest files on var:
First check these known files which grows significantly over the course of time :
/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
/var/adm/syslog/mail.log
/var/opt/resmon/log/*
- Also to check top 30 largest files on /var filesystem:
# cd /var
# find . -type f -xdev -exec ls -l {} \; > /tmp/var_files.txt
# cat var_files.txt | sort +4 -5nr | head -n 30
- Also if you are seeing sudden growth of 95 % from a less used /var filesystem, you may suspect something wrong happened suddenly. suppose your /var FS was 50% and suddenly it is 95% , you may try looking for the files created or modified recently in 1 day or 12 hours.
- If there is nothing to trim/cleanup , you can go ahead and extend the filesystem, depending on the free space on vg00.
# Free Space can be check with:
# vgdisplay vg00 | grep "Free PE"
- also check if you have online JFS:
# swlist -l product | grep OnlineJFS
