housekeeping root directory

[aixchild]

root is at 100%

Filesystem MB blocks Free %Used Iused %Iused Mounted on
/dev/hd4 128.00 0.07 100% 7040 88% /

Trouble is, I can't find anything to delete to reduce the usage

Has anyone got any tips as to where to look and what to delete ?

thanks

[tt]find / -xdev -mtime -30 -ls[/tt]

gives you any recently (last month or so) changed files in the root filesystem. One possibility is someone tried to write to a device that doesn't exist (e.g. /dev/rmt1) and has created a big file inside the /dev directory

thanks wizard

turned out to be service agent topas files in /etc/per/daily

 

[p5wizard]

topasrec is started from /etc/inittab. You can set up a separate filesystem to hold the recorded file. Modify the inittab line accordingly. Also the default is to retain 6 previous days of topas perf data, you can also modify that (e/g. [tt]-r 6[/tt] => [tt]-r 3[/tt])

Or if you decide you don't want thisperf data logging, simply turn this inittab line [tt]off[/tt] (change [tt]"once"[/tt] to [tt]"off"[/tt])
