Discrepancy in root filesystem utilization

[Phani_4]

Hi,

OS : Digital Unix V4.0

In df -k output, the total amount of disk space of root is 500 MB, Used space is 100 MB..but the available space is showing only 4 MB.

Please if somebody knows how to correct it, help me out to resolve this issue.

suboz017:/dev/vol/rootdg > df -k /
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
root_domain#root 500000 106074 4576 96% /

You have problem with reporting the available size for all the devices.
This looks like a problem with the df command.
Check the patches database to see if there is a patch to resolve this error depending on your version.
Install the latest patch kit and check it out again

Hi,

what os are you exactly using, 4.0A-F?
Can you unmount the all the filesets except root and usr? Look for files, that are in the mount point directories and now covered by the filesets mounted. Otherwise start computer in single user mode and check the root_domain with /sbin/advfs/verify -r root_domain.

greetings,

Michael

Hi,

4.0D is a relatively old version. Do you have the latest patches for that? When will you be able to umount all filesets?

Hi Michael,

I am basically a HP-UX guy..i have zero knowledge on Digital..even i don't know how to check the patch level of the system.

If i go to single user mode & if i run 'verify' command on the domains, will the problem get resolves ? Because the system is under production.

Cheers, Phani

Phani,
Basically what you have to do now is update your system with the latest patchkit for V 4.0D, then if you have the OS of 4.0G, update the system to that version and apply the latest patch kit for 4.0G. Then consider upgrading to V 5.1B in the near future.
If you go to single user mode, you will kick all other users out of the system, so it dosn't care about production system. Schedule a system down time and upgrade it.
