lsof can also be helpfull in spotting processes with open files, for example:
will list all open files in the var filesystem (pay particular attention to the "SIZE/OFF" column as large numbers here indicat appending/reading large files). This command may even spot files that find cannot see (eg files that have been unlinked but the process still has an open file pointer).

Hi,
I have an iSCSI LUN of 200GB. I increased it to 250GB and when I try to increase the size of the vg, I'm getting an error that none of the volumes have increased in size.
How can I get the OS to see the additional 50GB?

2. formatted the same with ufs
3. created a slice and tried to label it as "opt" with "wm" permissions.
but got stuck at 3 as it is not allowing me to label the slice... (9 Replies)

mount_fdesc
MOUNT_FDESC(8) BSD System Manager's Manual MOUNT_FDESC(8)NAME
mount_fdesc -- mount the file-descriptor file system
SYNOPSIS
mount_fdesc [-o options] fdesc mount_point
DESCRIPTION
The mount_fdesc command attaches an instance of the per-process file descriptor namespace to the global filesystem namespace. The conven-
tional mount point is /dev and the filesystem should be union mounted in order to augment, rather than replace, the existing entries in /dev.
The directory specified by mount_point is converted to an absolute path before use.
This command is normally executed by mount(8) at boot time.
The options are as follows:
-o Options are specified with a -o flag followed by a comma separated string of options. See the mount(8) man page for possible options
and their meanings.
The contents of the mount point are fd, stderr, stdin, stdout and tty.
fd is a directory whose contents appear as a list of numbered files which correspond to the open files of the process reading the directory.
The files /dev/fd/0 through /dev/fd/# refer to file descriptors which can be accessed through the file system. If the file descriptor is
open and the mode the file is being opened with is a subset of the mode of the existing descriptor, the call:
fd = open("/dev/fd/0", mode);
and the call:
fd = fcntl(0, F_DUPFD, 0);
are equivalent.
The files /dev/stdin, /dev/stdout and /dev/stderr appear as symlinks to the relevant entry in the /dev/fd sub-directory. Opening them is
equivalent to the following calls:
fd = fcntl(STDIN_FILENO, F_DUPFD, 0);
fd = fcntl(STDOUT_FILENO, F_DUPFD, 0);
fd = fcntl(STDERR_FILENO, F_DUPFD, 0);
Flags to the open(2) call other than O_RDONLY, O_WRONLY and O_RDWR are ignored.
The /dev/tty entry is an indirect reference to the current process's controlling terminal. It appears as a named pipe (FIFO) but behaves in
exactly the same way as the real controlling terminal device.
