du -sh issue in solaris 10
i have 30 file systems on my production system and my system is responding too slow and / is 99% full is there any way i can run the du -sh only on root file systems and skip all the SAN file systems as the system is unable to do du -sdh * / as it would try to run du on all the SAN/NAS file systems too.

Hi.

If I understand the man page correctly:

Code:
/usr/xpg4/bin/du -shx /*

might give what you want?

Quote:
-x When evaluating file sizes, evaluate only those
files that have the same device as the file speci-
fied by the file operand.

Can you housekeep you root filesystem first then redo du or df. If df still shows 99%, then you might need to check the open files in cache and fuser to track and kill open processes

i have already done housekeeping and still unable to find anything .. my /usr, /var, /tmp ,/export and they all are fine & how can i check open files in / .. i know i can do this with lsof but for /var or /usr not for entire root file system i would appreciate if you can help me on this

and one more thing i didn;t understand how to use /usr/xpg4/bin/du -shx /*

as my SAN file systems are vxfs and root file system are on zfs

Code:
rpool                       132G      0    94K  /rpool
rpool/ROOT                  126G      0    18K  legacy
rpool/ROOT/s10s_u6wos_07b   126G      0   126G  /
rpool/dump                 4.00G      0  4.00G  -
rpool/swap                    2G  2.00G    16K  -


 df -h /
Filesystem             size   used  avail capacity  Mounted on
rpool/ROOT/s10s_u6wos_07b
                       132G   126G     0K   100%    /

It might be a ZFS snapshot.

What says
Code:
zfs list

or
Code:
zfs list -t all

?

Code:
$ zfs list -t all
invalid type 'all'

Code:
$ zfs list -r rpool
NAME                        USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
rpool                       132G      0    94K  /rpool
rpool/ROOT                  126G      0    18K  legacy
rpool/ROOT/s10s_u6wos_07b   126G      0   126G  /

as far as in can see there is no snapshot .. this was the first thing we checked

the /var/cores directory was the culprit and since i was using sudo with normal user i it was not showing me the contents of /var/cores ..:-) sorry for confusion .. this thread can be closed now.
