Inconsistent memory usage display
When i was trying to store a file of size 743 MB into a directory i got a msg. that the disk is full. But when i used the df -k . command on that directory it showed only 40% in usage and the disk had more than enough memory for the file. When i checked the syslog i found that at that instant of time when the file was trying to be created inside the directory the corresponding volume was full. That is why it showed the error. But then how the command showed 40% free. Any explanations?

7. Solaris
Hi,
I'm running a multi-process software system on a Solaris 8 machine. When I monitor the memory usage, I see that the free memory is dropping rapidly, but I can't detect a process that uses this memory.
I'm using "top" to get the free memory and the memory usage of processes.
Thanks. (3 Replies)

fs_setvol
FS_SETVOL(1) AFS Command Reference FS_SETVOL(1)
NAME
fs_setvol - Set quota and messages for a volume containing a file or directory
SYNOPSIS
fs setvol [-path <dir/file path>+]
[-max <disk space quota in 1K units>]
[-offlinemsg <offline message>] [-help]
fs setv [-p <dir/file path>+]
[-ma <disk space quota in 1K units>]
[-o <offline message>] [-h]
fs sv [-p <dir/file path>+]
[-ma <disk space quota in 1K units>]
[-o <offline message>] [-h]
DESCRIPTION
The fs setvol command sets the quota (maximum possible size) of the read/write volume that contains each directory or file named by the
-path argument. To associate a message with the volume which then appears in the output of the fs examine command, include the -offlinemsg
argument.
To display all of the settings made with this command, use the fs examine command. The fs listquota command reports a fileset's quota, and
the fs quota command the percent of quota used.
To set quota on one volume at a time, use the fs setquota command.
CAUTIONS
Currently, the maximum size of a volume is 2 terabytes (2^31 bytes).
OPTIONS
-path <dir/file path>+
Names each file or directory for which to set the host volume's quota and offline message. Partial pathnames are interpreted relative
to the current working directory, which is also the default value if this argument is omitted.
Specify the read/write path to the file or directory, to avoid the failure that results from attempting to change a read-only volume.
By convention, the read/write path is indicated by placing a period before the cell name at the pathname's second level (for example,
/afs/.abc.com). For further discussion of the concept of read/write and read-only paths through the filespace, see the fs mkmount
reference page.
-max <disk space quota in 1K units>
Sets the maximum amount of file server disk space the volume can occupy. Provide a positive integer to indicate the number of one-
kilobyte blocks (1024 is one megabyte). A value of 0 sets an unlimited quota, but the size of the disk partition that houses the volume
places an absolute limit on the volume's size.
If the -path argument is omitted (so that the command sets the quota of the volume housing the current working directory), the -max
switch must be provided.
-offlinemsg
Associates a message with the volume which then appears in the output of the fs examine command. Its intended use is to explain why the
volume is currently offline.
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.
EXAMPLES
The following command imposes a 6500 kilobyte quota on the volumes mounted at the home directories /afs/abc.com/usr/smith and
/afs/abc.com/usr/pat:
% cd /afs/abc.com/usr
% fs setvol -path smith pat -max 6500B<>
PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The issuer must belong to the system:administrators group.
