root filesystem is full

[sheevm]

Hi,

Root filesystem is full in one of the server. Can someone tell me a way to track the large files created in the root filesystem to resolve this issue?

Thanks.

Hi:

Look at where the space has been consumed -- largest to smallest directory usage, first:

# du -kx / | sort -k1nr | more

Most notably, look at '/dev/' for any non-special files. A common mistake is to create a file named '/dev/rmt/om' --- with the letter "o" instead of the number "0".

Regards!
