how to login from the lowest level "sh"

[Mohd Hanif Bin Ahmad]

I saw message /dev/root/ file system full (1 block extent) then i tried to reboot my machine. Then I used my ROOT id to login thru console and got this following message:

No utmp entry. You must exec "login" from the lowest level "sh".

INIT: failed write of utmp entry. "cons"

what should i do now since i have no other user id to login to the machine.

Regards

Hi Hanif,

It seems that your root filesystem is full and that is why it is not allowing you to login even as root.
To rectify this, boot your machine in the single user mode and do the cleanup on the root filesystem.

if you can't log in, you can start it with OS cd. then do some cleaning.

Hi Nanif,

- shutdown if posible all critical process.

# shutdown -r

stop init process:
