no space

Can you do a "df" to find out what your actual space is on the root filesystem?

Also, try this script. Not mine but it is very good!

At the prompt type:

command SIZE filesystem
bigfiles 10000 / #for root filesystem


$ cat bigfiles

# To find any file over a certain size in a given directory
# Primarily used to locate files which might be running a filesystem out of
# space.
#
# First parameter is the filesystem or directory to begin the search from
# Second parameter is the size of the file, in characters, to find

if [ $# -eq 2 ]
then
if [ -d $1 ]
then
#ls -l `find "${1}" -xdev -size +"${2}"c -print`
find "${1}" -xdev -size +"${2}"c -print > /tmp/crslist$$
if [ -s /tmp/crslist$$ ]
then
ls -l `cat /tmp/crslist$$`
else
echo "apparently no files that large in "${1}
exit
fi
else
echo "$1 is not a directory...try again"
exit
fi
else
echo "\n\nbigfiles requires 2 parameters..."
echo "\tthe first is the beginning directory"
echo "\tthe second is the size of the file to search for\n\n"
fi

xfs_estimate(8) 					      System Manager's Manual						   xfs_estimate(8)

NAME
xfs_estimate - estimate the space that an XFS filesystem will take SYNOPSIS
xfs_estimate [ -h ] [ -b blocksize ] [ -i logsize ] [ -e logsize ] [ -v ] directory ... xfs_estimate -V DESCRIPTION
For each directory argument, xfs_estimate estimates the space that directory would take if it were copied to an XFS filesystem. xfs_esti- mate does not cross mount points. The following definitions are used: KB = *1024 MB = *1024*1024 GB = *1024*1024*1024 The xfs_estimate options are: -b blocksize Use blocksize instead of the default blocksize of 4096 bytes. The modifier k can be used after the number to indicate multiplica- tion by 1024. For example, xfs_estimate -b 64k / requests an estimate of the space required by the directory / on an XFS filesystem using a blocksize of 64K (65536) bytes. -v Display more information, formatted. -h Display usage message. -i, -e logsize Use logsize instead of the default log size of 1000 blocks. -i refers to an internal log, while -e refers to an external log. The modifiers k or m can be used after the number to indicate multiplication by 1024 or 1048576, respectively. For example, xfs_estimate -i 1m / requests an estimate of the space required by the directory / on an XFS filesystem using an internal log of 1 megabyte. -V Print the version number and exits. EXAMPLES
% xfs_estimate -e 10m /var/tmp /var/tmp will take about 4.2 megabytes with the external log using 2560 blocks or about 10.0 megabytes % xfs_estimate -v -e 10m /var/tmp directory bsize blocks megabytes logsize /var/tmp 4096 792 4.0MB 10485760 % xfs_estimate -v /var/tmp directory bsize blocks megabytes logsize /var/tmp 4096 3352 14.0MB 10485760 % xfs_estimate /var/tmp /var/tmp will take about 14.0 megabytes xfs_estimate(8)
