Hi All,

The root file system of the HP-UX serevr I use is showing as 100% full.

It has a disk space of ~524MB. When I add up the sizes of all the files and directories (using du -sk) , except mount points, it came up to 237MB.
But when I bdf it still shows 100% full

Can anyone help please

Thank You

can you please post bdf and du -sk o/p. may be there is something you are missing.

the bdf output:

The issue could be because a file to which a process was writing got deleted, but the process is till running. Since there is no entry in the directory the doesnt show that the filesystem is full, but the bdf shows the output. Since a process is still referencing the inode to write to the file, the filesystem gets full eventhough the file to which the process was writing got deleted.

Try using lsof/fuser to find out the process still writing to the filesystems and then kill the process.
