File System Full Message on Console

[slymac]

Hi I'm a bit of a novice at this. I have a Sun Sparcstation with OS 5.7. A message keeps popping up on the console stating the following:

NOTICE: alloc: /opt: file system full

I have looked at the log files in /opt/local/apache/logs and trimmed them down a number of times but the message eventually comes back. I'm not sure how to search for largefiles. Any help with solving this would be extremely appreciative.
Thanks.

One way to search for large files is using the find command:

find /opt -size +8192 -exec ls -l {} \;

This will search for any files under /opt that are greater than 4MB and then execute ls -l for the files found to show their actual size. I personally find this very useful. If nothing is found, try a smaller value instead of 8192. Regards,

try this..
go to /opt directory, perform below command.
#du -sk * |sort -nr

this will display the lagest directory or file in order.
