doubts reg inodes
Dear all,
We have a logfile which is written into by a background process running continuously. This logfile size keeps increasing rapidly. While trying to manipulate the file, we deleted the file from the directory. But the process kept on writing into the file and the directory space got filled up.
According to inode concept, the file is not completely removed until the last reference to the inode is gone.
My question is how to trace these inodes which exist even after the files get deleted but a process is working on it.
Please let me know if i am not clear.

DIAGNOSTICS
problems were encountered writing log file
There were problems encountered when the kernel was writing the logfile. The most common problem is running out of disk space.
invalid log file
The logfile is not a valid logfile or was created with a newer version of Solaris than the one where cachefswssize is running.
