Full Discussion: filesystem is full in AIX5.3

I assume this is a new system, because you are talking about reinstall


often, when /usr is full, the cause was a previously made Technology Level update, or another software installation, with the option "commit software updates" set to no and "save replaced files" set to yes (in the smitty install menu)

so if it's a new system, you can drop the old files, using smitty install > software maintenance and ... > commit applied software updates

in normal cases you do the update, wait a few weeks, and if everything works properly you commit the new and drop the old filesets


other possibility ist, that /usr ist simply too small, then you should check the "mount" command and see if filesystem is jfs2 (default in aix 5.3)
this would work with jfs(1) filesystem too, but you can't reduce its size while operating, which is a big advantage of jfs2

then try the command

Code:
chfs -a size=+300M /usr

or

Code:
chfs -a size=+1G /usr

for example

if you get an error please post it here

Sys::Filesystem::Darwin(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			      Sys::Filesystem::Darwin(3pm)

NAME

       Sys::Filesystem::Darwin - Return Darwin (Mac OS X) filesystem information to Sys::Filesystem

SYNOPSIS

       See Sys::Filesystem.

DESCRIPTION

       The filesystem information is taken from diskutil, the system utility supplied on Mac OS X.

INHERITANCE

	 Sys::Filesystem::Darwin
	 ISA Sys::Filesystem::Unix
	   ISA UNIVERSAL

METHODS

       version ()
	   Return the version of the (sub)module.

ATTRIBUTES

       The following is a list of filesystem properties which may be queried as methods through the parent Sys::Filesystem object.

       The property 'label' is also set, but cannot be queried by Sys::Filesystem yet.

       mount_point
	   The mount point (usually either '/' or '/Volumes/...').

       device
	   The mounted device

       format
	   Describes the type of the filesystem. So far I encountered the following types:

	   hfs The standard Mac OS X HFS(+) filesystem. Disk images (.dmg) and Mac Software DVDs normally also use the HFS(+) format.

	   msdos
	       DOS image files (e.g. floppy disk images)

	   cd9660
	       CD-ROM image files or real CD-ROMs

	   cddafs
	       Audio CDs

	   udf UDF filesystem (e.g. DVDs)

       (empty)
	   For mounted FTP servers, disktool returns an empty filesystem type (ie, '').

BUGS

       Doesn't take /etc/fstab or /etc/xtab into account right now, since they are normally not used. Contact the author if you need this.
