HFS FILE SYSTEM - 10.20

[Suporte Tecnico]

Hello,
I have a problem when I delete files in a FS full (100% used). The % used continue the same, as if it was full.
How Can i solve this problem, without reboot ?

Hi,

It is most likely that the file you removed was opened and is still being accessed by a process. Without rebooting the server, you can identify the process by using "lsof" which lists the open files and subsequently killing the process. It is a third-party program that has been ported to HP-UX and can be downloaded from any of the HP-UX third-party software depots on the internet.

Regards.

Steven Sim.

There could be another reason you could have deleted a file that was mounted underneath the filesystem you were looking at. Do a bdf . just to make sure you are in the right file system before deleting the file.

Also in regards to the previous post a simply fuser -cuk /filesystem will kill al pid's attached to the filesystem

Do a cat /dev/null > before you remove. This way if the file is open by some process, you will be able to see fairly quickly. Also, in doing this process, you reclaim the spaced and then you can remove the file.

Don't have to do this for every file but it can be a safety feature.
