Root File system is 100%

[marvik]

Dear All,

My root file system is 100%, Can you pls advice what all can be removed to bring it atleast 94%.
details are below
Filesystem kbytes used avail %used Mounted on
/dev/vg00/lvol3 131072 131043 29 100% /

I have checked there are /etc/lvmconf/vg*.conf.old but the entire saving will be 8MB only if I delete them.

Processess using / are as under

(root_lonapp60) @ / # lsof / |more
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
swapper 0 root cwd DIR 64,0x3 2048 2 /
init 1 root cwd DIR 64,0x3 2048 2 /

Check for core files:

find / -name core

Check for regular files under /dev

find /dev -type f

Run du to find where the most space is used:

du -sk /* |sort -n

du -kx / | sort -nk1 -> will give dirs taking max space. Then in each dir, check for files/dirs that are causing it.

So finally I have linked

/etc/lp to /usr and /(root) is now at 47%

couldn't see any other fast method

Thanks to all
