Operating Systems Solaris solaris 8 / disk space almost full

Old 03-21-2009
If / is currently increasing in size, some file in / is growing. I would find it (or them) by asking what files in / have been recently written..
find / -type f -mount -mtime -1 -print | xargs ls -l

after I know the culprit then I can make a plan. And by the way, lots of people put /var in / these days. It could be just a matter of trimming log files.
