[Amit Manna_6]

Hi

It says "No such file or directory"
Can anybody tell me the reason.

Hi Amit,

Just check you run the "bdf" with full path in all the cases.

# which bdf
/usr/bin/bdf

Dear Amit,

the bdf output will be same irrespective of the present working directory.

If you want to see the disk utilisation of /var alone,

you can try

#du /var

With Regards,

Siva.

Shalom Amit,

I think that the /var filesystem is not mounted.

Try mount /var

Check /etc/fstab for problems.

You may have to take your system into single user mode.

Note that when a system runs with /var not moutned, there are a lot of files created that will be hidden and take up space on root / when the /var filesystem is mounted. These need to be cleared prior to mounting /var

I'd run dmesg and see if a disk has failed.

Try

bdf /var

if what you want is the bdf output for only the /var file system.

bdf /var will give you what you want

As a check you can also change to /var and and run du -sk *

the numbers should match - if there are no mount points under /var (du will include them)

Hi;

You can try..

#cd /var
#bdf .
#du -sk /var/* |sort -rn

Try this commands. see the output.

Cheers
