Ran out of space on /dev/root partition
hi,
I have a SCO unix server which has a 36gb hard drive, but the IT company who supplied it assigned 1gb to /dev/root, 15mb to /dev/boot and 33gb to /dev/u.
The /dev/root partition is now full, is there a way I can use the 33gb assigned to /dev/u without loosing any data, preferably without having to reload the system and data.
Also what is the /dev/u partition?

Hi all,
I have about 5-6 daemons specific to my application running in the background. I am trying to write a script to stop them. Usually, I run them as a non-root ID, which is fine. But for some reason the client insists on using root.
I do have sudo.

For instance, root partition is full so I don't need to know about /ABC/XYZ when /ABC/XYZ is a separate mount point. (But /ABC isnt).
Can I run a du command or similar and just look at contents effecting the space on that mount point (/)? (2 Replies)

LEARN ABOUT OPENSOLARIS
dev
dev(7FS) File Systems dev(7FS)
NAME
dev - Device name file system
DESCRIPTION
The dev filesystem manages the name spaces of devices under the Solaris operating environment. The global zone's instance of the dev
filesystem is mounted during boot on /dev.
A subdirectory under /dev may have unique operational semantics. Most of the common device names under /dev are created automatically by
devfsadm(1M). Others, such as /dev/pts, are dynamic and reflect the operational state of the system. You can manually generate device
names for newly attached hardware by invoking devfsadm(1M) or implicitly, by indirectly causing a lookup or readdir operation in the
filesystem to occur. For example, you can discover a disk that was attached when the system was powered down (and generate a name for that
device) by invoking format(1M)).
FILES
/dev Mount point for the /dev filesystem in the global zone.
SEE ALSO
devfsadm(1M), format(1M), devfs(7FS)
NOTES
The global /dev instance cannot be unmounted.
