AIX

Hi, got a nice surprise this morning. I have an alert saying I have a server with the filesystem /usr/nsr full at 100%.

Upon looking at its content I have no idea what to clean up. The only files that were created within the past few days are kind of small. So I suspect it was always almost full for a few years (90% of all files in there date of 2000 and less).

Can someone first tell me what this folder is used for. By understanding its nature and usage, I might find out what to cleanup or compress.

From a simple google search it appears this filesystem belongs to Legato Networker. I would suggest therefore that the Networker Admin is approached. If, as happens with many companies, there no longer is a Networker admin you might have a problem. More research on the internet might give you some sort of pointer. Good luck.

I have just found this link which might be useful. Be warned I did not have an in depth look at the site!

What neat things can I do with nsradmin? - Backup Central

LOL, as it turns out. I don't think we have one. We used to have a semi-good system admin but he left. The one replacing him hardly knows anything.

I found out the problem is in the file /usr/nsr/logs/messages which continously appended the same 2 messages for months but at every 5sec or so. I have seen the same problem on another server (I changed the IP parts with '*'):
I am guessing a process/script is trying to add a subnet or something.
