write failed, file system is full

[ajk_2]

Hi there,

I found a file system " / " which is full.
Since the spaces are good enough. I didn't find any big sized files during the happen. Does anyone have an idea? Thank you.

you may want to check for /dev/rmt/om files... that's an o 'o' not a zero...

This is a very large file which was created when a user tried to perform a tar but using /dev/rmt/om instead of /dev/rmt/0m...

just a thought...

Hi,

Another possibility is you have open file(s) residing in / These files have already been removed but processes are still writing to these opened file(s).

To verify, run lsof on / and check for any open file(s) that have already been physically removed. To remove such files, you have to terminate the process that is writing to these open file(s).

lsof can be downloaded from

Hope this helps. Regards.

Try these
1.#find / -depth -mtime +1 -exec ll ${} \;
That should show you the files, which have been modified last. The big ones should be
among them.
2.#find / -depth -type f -name *.log

3.#du -akx / | sort -n

4.#find / -size +10000 -exec ls -l {} \;
5.Any core file?

Hi,
we can't increase the / size since it will be contiguous allocation. remove any unwanted files. or you can shift your activity to another filesystem which has enough space
