Solaris

hi every one

"plz any one can give solution to my problem" my problem is my filesystem is full in os level i have to decrease it to 60% how can i? plz help me

Thank you for your response

Delete unnecessary files

plz tel me what are that unwanted files

That depends on what you have on the filesystem.
It might be core files, log files, old application logs, old application, old user filer etc etc.

There is no 100% answer to that question as it varies from machine to machine.
A quick look using ls through the file system should tell you what you might delete.
Also using "du" to list all the files might help you find what you can delete.

In case if you are not sure at this point in time as which all file you can remove, then you can decrease the min free space reserved in your filesystem. You can see the same with prtvtoc /dev/dsk/<slice name> and if its default which is 10% then you can take the space out of min free with tunefs –m.

can you post a "df -k" output.

your basic choices are delete files or make the file system bigger.
the way to make the file system bigger depends on which file system?
what file system type?
what solaris version?

We must assume that you are the administrator of the computer and are working as the user "root". If you are working as an end user please state this.

I agree with robsonde. Please login as "root" and post the output from the command:

Code:

df -k

Then please post a sample error message which shows that the filesystem is "full up to 90%" exactly as you see the message making it clear where you saw the message (on the screen?, in a named log?).


In a database environment it is not unusual to see partitions 100% full and this is not a problem when dealing with fixed length database segments which will not grow. However 90% in a system or home partition could need urgent attention.
