full root volume "/"

[Gary Glick]

I logged into one of our lesser used dev servers a bit ago and was greeted with a vx_nospace /dev/root system full(262MB in size). It appears that /etc/opt/resmon/persistence is the problem. The directory is 176MB with about 44k files. They are dated back to the first of the year.

What are they, & can I get rid of most of 'em?

Thank you for any assistance.

Hi,

The files are from one of system monitors.
You can delete the files. Taking into account the quantity of files, use
#> find /etc/opt/resmon/persistence -mtime +30 | xargs rm

These are files related to Event Monitoring Service (EMS)

Go through SAM and disable the monitoring you have configured.

Gary,

The EMS daemon generates these files. The last message in this thread contains instructions on the proper way to remove them:
