Solaris full /tmp - du and df different swap NOT filled
Hello all,

The issue is


Quote:
Nov 17 17:15:58 tmpfs: [ID 518458 kern.warning] WARNING: /tmp: File system full, swap space limit exceeded
Nov 17 17:19:47 last message repeated 70 times

Code:
# df -h /tmp
Filesystem             size   used  avail capacity  Mounted on
swap                   4.0G   4.0G   8.7M   100%    /tmp

Code:
# du -sh /tmp/
  87M   /tmp

By now you probably will say that this is open file destriptor issue.
Well no, nothing was using the /tmp and the files in it - tried with fuser /tmp and fuser /tmp/*

The most strange thing is that after sometime it fixed by itself without restarting any processes(there is monitoring for that)


Code:
# df -h /tmp
Filesystem             size   used  avail capacity  Mounted on
swap                   4.0G    87M   3.9G     3%    /tmp

Any ideas?

p.s. Swap was not full during the same time:


Code:
# swap -l
swapfile             dev  swaplo blocks   free
/dev/swap            0,0      16 197132288 123747040

p.p.s Worth to mention that this is a zone


Code:
# uname -a
SunOS 5.10 Generic_144488-11 sun4v sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-T200
