Hi All,,

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.

hi jain

you better reinstall soaris 10 ... coz you assigned your root file is only 5gb /100gb... for this your file is100% full frequently when some process are application ... so better goto reinstalll solaris ..

you create manual layout for solaris installation and allocate 25gb root

or better, reinstall the OS an select a ZFS root pool encompassing the whole disk.

couldn't he backup everything, repartition and then use something like ufsrestore? or would that be more time consuming anyway?
