Full Discussion: URGENT, root file system is 99%

Hi
I hope this can help. In /var/adm is logfile or messages from root when I'm correct. Look at "wtmpx" file this logfile for the "last" command. You can copy it when set it to 0. BUT Don't remove it. This file can get big..

Some info ....


The utmpx and wtmpx files are extended database files that
have superseded the obsolete utmp and wtmp database files.

The utmpx database contains user access and accounting
information for commands such as who(1), write(1), and
login(1). The wtmpx database contains the history of user
access and accounting information for the utmpx database.

I hope this helps you I had the same problem. And the set everything to 0 was ok. But if dont save it you can never check the access and accounting.

Peter

utmpx(4)							   File Formats 							  utmpx(4)

NAME

       utmpx, wtmpx - utmpx and wtmpx database entry formats

SYNOPSIS

       #include <utmpx.h>
       /var/adm/utmpx

       contains the history of user access and accounting information for the  utmpx database.

USAGE

       Applications should not access these databases directly, but should use the functions described on the getutxent(3C) manual page to  inter-
       act with the utmpx and wtmpx databases to ensure that they are maintained consistently.
