Help understanding this SunOs 5.10 Filesystem.
Hi guys! First of all thanks for reading.

I was the "lucky winner" to be in charge of an old a$$ SunOS 5.10 server at work. This server is going to be used to store files and I need to clean it up to make some room.

I need help understanding this Filesystem since Im a not too familiar with Sun.

Code:
Filesystem             size   used  avail capacity  Mounted on

If you have any recommendations to "clean" this server a little bit would be greatly appreciated.

What do you mean by "clean"? You have quite big (667 GB) ZFS pool here (app). It seems to be used by Oracle database. If you are sure that this database is not used anymore you could reuse disks used by this pool.

Well the IT dept brought to my attention this:

Code:
 oslocal/export_home     60G    57G   2.8G    96%    /export/home

but I cant cd to /oslocal/export_home to see its contents

Code:
$ cd /oslocal/
$ ls
$ cd export_home
export_home: does not exist

As for the DB I was informed cant be deleted.

Sorry... Im a a begginer in the Unix/Linux scene :/

This filesystem is mounted on "/export/home". To check what is taking space there, run:
Code:
cd /export/home
du -sk *

I was able to identify the file: a backup folder. Was able to get it down to 66% capacity. Thanks! Smilie

One more question:
Code:
oslocal                100G    18K    25G     1%    /oslocal
app/smart               95G    42K    95G     1%    /smart

These two mounting points have free space. Their owner group is root:root.
I tried to touch a file there but it wouldnt let me because of permissions.

How can I make it so I can create files there with my regular user? Changing the owner to the regular user?

Whats the best approach.

It depends whether other users should be able to write to those directories. If you will be the only user of those directories, then changing owner property is the best approach. Note that it has to be done by root.

Some other users will have to too.
