Re: root

Hi,

# find / -size +1000 -xdev -exec ls -l {} \;

check if there any large files in /dev/rmt.

Hope it helps,

Re: root

Hi John,

Any large core files?

find / -name core -print

Should be ok to delete these.

Re: root

Yes. That is the result of a program crash.
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.
