It won't hurt checking them but the file system full message the OP is reporting is not referring to these directories.

We need to see if you have used up all of your free inodes on the disk with problems
Try
Code:
/usr/ucb/df -i /usr/local/sudo/etc

Solaris tries to be everything to everyone, and it can get in the way. df -i is a BSD-ism as far as Solaris is concerned.

or
Code:
/usr/bin/df -F ufs -o i  /usr/local/sudo/etc

The system disk is probably ufs

PS: it looks like your system disk is getting full. This is not good. You need to do something really soon, like now.

Make sure user directories/files are NOT on the system device, that they are all mounted on another different filesystem.

Hi there,


I think this is because when you create a filesystem by default there is a 5% space reserved only for root. Your / filesystem is now 95% so you reached that limit.

Two options:

- Modify the 5% with tunefs, look for the minfree parameter (only temporary solution). to see the actual value do:

fstyp -v /dev/dsk/<logical device name>

- free some space (Recommended)
