Solaris file system unable to use available space

Hi,

The solaris filesystem /u01 shows available space as 100GB, and used space as 6 GB.

The Problem is when iam trying to install some software or copy some files in this file system /u01 Iam unable to copy or install in this file system due to lack of space.

ofcourse the software files are off size lesser than 100GB i mean not morethan 4 GB.

My question is why iam not able to use the available space. How to solve this issue.

Early response is highly appreciated.

thanks,

Well, it is possible that there are some quotas configured on the filesystem. To check this out you have to know if the filesystem is UFS or ZFS. If it is ZFS, then you should check those commands:
Code:
zfs get quota zfs_dataset_name_for_/u01
zfs userspace zfs_dataset_name_for_/u01
zfs groupspace zfs_dataset_name_for_/u01

If the filesystem is UFS then check:
Code:
repquota /u01

if quota is less, than how to modify or assign more quota.

thanks,
