Can i delete tombstones from 1999? I could clear some things out of /var. Any suggestions as to what?
this is what is in the log.

SolutionThere's quite a lot of stuff in var you can clear down
Have a look at mail files in /var/mail
If you don't use these for any purpose
>/var/mail/root
You can also clear logs down using sam -
Have a look at the log files in /var
find /var -name *.log
I would also say there's no harm clearing the file from tombstones
zip it if you want to keep using gzip
Regards
Steve

Re: make_recovery failure
Yes, you can delete the 'tombstones' files. Keep 'ts99' since this is always the most recent one. These files contain hardware information that is useful in the event of a full crash.
Use 'cleanup' to recover space in /var at large. If you are on 11.x use:
# cleanup -c 1
For 10.20, simply use 'cleanup' without other arguments.
You can remove unused files in '/var/tmp'. Look at '/var/preserve' too for any old editor recovery files that can be removed.
Don't forget that if you have 'var/adm/wtmp' for last logins and/or 'var/adm/btmp' that these files will grow very large. You can redirect /dev/null into them to clear them.
Regards!

Re: make_recovery failure
Check the file system usage with:
# bdf
If the /var is full, then delete the unwanted files:
1) Remove files from /var/adm/crash, if not required for crash dump analysis ( last system crash data)
2) Files from /var/tombstones ( delete if not needed for any HPMC hardware error details). I would defenitley delete files which are older.
3) Check the bigger files:
# cd /var
# du -k | sort -rn
# find /var -xdev -size +10000 -exec ll {}\;
4) Check and trim the log files, wtmp, utmp files if not required.
HTH,
Shiju

Re: make_recovery failure
you can clear /var/tombstones directory. Just leave the file ts99 if you want. Else you can remove that too. Look for crash directories in /var/adm/crash. These crash directories are created every time the system crashes and comes up. It you have multiple directories over here, you can clean up the old ones if you don't need them. Clean up /var/adm/sa directory too if you want.
you can also use the cleanup utility that comes as a patch to cleanup the old superceded patches from your system.
Hope this helps.

Re: make_recovery failure
From the looks of the error message it is complaining about file system lvol9 not sure what that file system is.
However if you want to clear up var please do the following
Please check /var/adm/crash if you have any old dumps and /var/log/syslog for large logfiles.
If you are running 10.20 then just the cleanup command should be fine if you are running use the cleanup -c or -d option after looking up the man page.
Thanks

Re: make_recovery failure
You can clear the old tombstone files and also , if your /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log file is too big, trim that and other log files using SAM...also look for core files and clean . I would suggest to use cleanup -c 2 rather than cleanup - c 1
Good luck
James
