Dear all,
yesterday I had a big problem on Solaris 9. I cannot write anymore on /var. I checked the inode usage, and I see that for /var was at 100% with ifree = 0.
I deleted some unused files (like old log on /var/tmp and /var/log), now I have ifree=19641 and 99% iused:
Honestly I don't see any other files to delete on /var (there's a ton of files, but all needed). What I can do now?
This is a production machine, so I have to be careful, and I cannot add any other disks, so, is there a way to restore/free other inode in /var
btw, this is what I seen on /var:
Please help, I worked during all the last night to try to solve this issue!!!!

Well, I found tons of file under /var/spool/clientmqueue/
If I'm not wrong this is output from mail. I believe this directory was not clear from long time (at least 7/8 years).
The problem now, is that I cannot delete files inside it:
or
Could someone help me?

Does find on Solaris support + ? I thought that was a GNU-only feature.
That find functionality first appeared in SVR4 (released late 1988/early 1989). Solaris does indeed support it. HP-UX has had it for a long time as well. All of the BSD finds support it. POSIX included it in their 2004 specification.
In solaris, orphan process is put to sleep mode and does not consume any CPU resources. In Linux, orphan process is kept in running state consuming all CPU and Ram resources. Is it the case? Is there a difference on how these operating systems will handle orphan processes?

Is there any way to create a file on Solaris 10 (ZFS preferably, but UFS would be helpful as well) with a specific inode number? I need to create a file with a large inode, greater than a 32bit integer.

Hi Guys,
I have this filesystem got big with inode:
/dev/hd4 3670016 183664 95% 63705 58% /var
I don't know why the system doesn't give alerts on this FS although it's 95% and why the inode is 58%.
Any comments will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
