Operating Systems HP-UX /var partition full need help Post 302601310 by Corona688 on Thursday 23rd of February 2012 10:27:49 AM

Deleting logfiles usually makes the situation worse -- they're probably still in use so won't be deleted, and will exist on disk until the logger closes them. But they're no longer in the directory after you delete them, preventing you from doing anything to them!

Try restarting your logger to release the deleted files, and don't delete logfiles thereafter -- truncate them. Having it open won't let the logger stop you from doing that.

Code:
: > /path/to/file
