Operating Systems Solaris How to use space in /tmp to increase root? Post 302979560 by rbatte1 on Tuesday 16th of August 2016 09:17:56 AM

Did you find out what was using all the space? Your plan to just move /var and hope for the best puts you in a worse position in my opinion.

if you can work out what space is used then perhaps we can discuss a reason and an action plan to suit. If you run du -ksx / and the space used does not tally with the output from df -k then there is a good chance that a directory with content has been over-mounted with a filesystem and the content is now inaccessible, but of course still costing space.

Can you show us the output from the two commands? The du will take quite a while to run.



Kind regards,
Robin
