Operating Systems Solaris No space on device Post 302664309 by bakunin on Friday 29th of June 2012 09:54:37 AM

I am not a Solaris expert, but some things even i can see. Actually there are two filesystems full:

Code:
Filesystem            kbytes    used   avail capacity  Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c0d0s0      4864825 4779400   36777   100%    /
/usr/lib/libc/libc_hwcap1.so.1 4864825 4779400   36777   100%    /lib/libc.so.1

and you will probably have to free up some space in both of them. Reboot the system to make sure there are no processes writing in open files, then delete some files not absolutely necessary. Good places to start looking are /var/log, /var/tmp, etc..

What is even more rtoublesome is the following: you said you allocated 100GB disk space and:

Code:
/dev/dsk/c0d0s0      4864825 4779400   36777   100%    /
/dev/dsk/c0d0s7      94717067 2577984 91191913     3%    /export/home

It looks like you have allocated ~5GB to "/" and ~95GB to "/export/home". I don't know what "/export/home" should be (user data are usually in "/home"), but i doubt this is a sound layout. This filesystem is nearly empty (probably it is empty and the 3% are just inodes), so i'd back it up, remove it and recreate it, preferably smaller by an order of magnitude. The space freed this way you could probably use to increase "/" to a sensible value (no idea what you want to store in there, but if everything stays as it is 6-7GB would look fine).

I hope this helps.

df

df(1)							      General Commands Manual							     df(1)

Name
       df - display free and used disk space

Syntax
       df [-i] [-l] [-n] [filesystem...] [file...]

Description
       The command displays the amount of disk space available on the specified file system, for example, It also displays the amount of available
       disk space on the file system in which the specified file is contained, for example, If a device is given that has no file systems  mounted
       on  it,	displays  the  information  for  the  root file system.  Without any arguments or options, displays shows all mounted filesystems,
       including those manually mounted without use of the file.  The numbers are reported in kilobytes.

       Unless the -n option is specified, updates the statistics stored in memory for the file system specified, before it  returns  the  informa-
       tion.

Options
       -i   Also report the number of used and free inodes.

       -l   Reports on locally mounted disks only.

       -n   Do	not  update the file system statistics stored in memory.  Instead, return whatever statistics are stored in memory.  This prevents
	    from hanging in the event that a server containing the specified file system is down.

Restrictions
       You cannot use the command to find free space on an unmounted file system using the block or character special device name.   Instead,  use
       the command.

Examples
       % df
       Filesystem     Total    kbytes  kbytes	%
       node	      kbytes   used    free	used	Mounted on
       /dev/ra1a       7429    2085    4602	31%    /tmp
       /dev/ra0e      30519   14817   12651	54%    /usr/spool
       /dev/ra0h     313233  122858  159052	44%    /usr/staff1

       The  total  disk  space is the total space that was created during the making of the file system.  The addition of the used space, the free
       space and a percentage of reserved space is the total space.  The default value for the reserved space is 10%.
