File System Help!!!!!!

[mastikool]

I have a filesystem that increased in size in the last 2 month according to my report. Question: How do I find to see if there is any pattern to this increase???...THanks in advance...Gracias.

Did the filesystem increase in size or did it just fill up more?

 

[mastikool]

It did increse in size over 2 months. THanks.

Sorry! it fill up more and I want to find out from where/ and what pattern it filled up.

 

[RMGBELGIUM]

find . -name "*.log"
find . -name "*.trc"
find . -name "core"

Most of the times, unexpexted increases of a FS are related to logfiles filling up , application coredumps, or Database tracefiles

That should get you started

du -m

?

unless you were monitoring it when it filled up, all you can do now is look for big files and directories and look at time stamps (and sizes).

 

[cspilman]

You could also check for files over a specific size and check their timestamp to see the latest files. For example:

find / -size +100000 -ls

will search for all files over 50MB.

To find any files that have been modified in the last 60 days execute:
find /<path_to_file_system> -xdev -mtime +60 -type f -exec ls -ld {} \; > /tmp/filechanges.out

This will check only the specific file system for files modified in the last 60 days and it will create a long listing about the file and save it into a file for review.
