do a
du -k|sort -nr|more
and find the directory which is occupying more space.
find / -name core -exec ll {}\;
find / -name "*.tar" -exec ll {} \;
Also check your /dev/rmt directory for any files with huge size.

Also check whether you have extracted some contents to a file system assuming that the directory is mounted as file system
Thanks

Baba,

One thing that got me years ago was a file system that had been unmounted, allowing output that should have gone into the file system to go into the root file system instead. While you're in single user mode, do a "ls -l" for each of the file system mount points. If there's anything there (while the file system is not mounted) it's filling up your root file system.

Good luck,
Pete

hi,
are these separate filesystems ?
/var , /tmp.
or they are in root filesystem.
#bdf /var
if they are root you can try removing temporary files and log files under /var/adm/syslog
while clearing log files
#cp /dev/null "log_file"

check under /dev for any unusual file having
enormous size as it may happen because of
giving wrong device file name while taking the
backup. All the data might have been backed up
in to a single file under /dev and /dev/rmt. this will occupy the root filesystem space.
eg.
/dev/rmt/0m - correct option for backup
/dev/rmt/om - bad option for backup
all data will backed up in a single file om
if this is the case with you , you can remove that file.

regards,

Hi,

Check for any files that are not device files is /dev :-

find /dev -type f

Remove any files that you don't need.
I just found /dev/null2 and /dev/NULL which I deleted.

HTH,

Dave.

Hi,

Check the /dev directory for some files. It is possible that someone was trying to take a backup and mistyped the device file name. This would have created a file with that name in the /dev directory. Also check the root directory for some spurious files / directories.

Hope this helps.

It could be that there is some Files under the / FS which was there though not part of the / Fs. You can clear it by going to single user mod, unmount the FS and look for any files, if found remove it..

Best of luck

get the lsof utility. It is free and it will give you a handle on what's going on.

Hi,

Also check for size of wtmp and btmp files.
