processes with handle on deleted fiels.

[Leo The Cat]

Hi

We have this command
fuser -d /fs1

this command is returning the list of processes where some handle are always open on deleted files ! it's interesting.

But is there a way to retrieve the list of all files in this sitaution ?

Thanks in advance
Bests Regards

Hi Den:

You need to use 'lsof' to find deleted but open files.

Look for files with an "NLINK" count of zero (0). The "SIZE/OFF" field will be the size in characters consumed. Files with a link count of zero are those that have been unlinked (removed):

# lsof +L1 +D /var/spool

If you don't have 'lsof' installed (and you should) fetch it for installation from:
