I am getting a message as follows:
CPU2 - NOTICE HTFS--No space on dev hd (1/42)
people cannot log in
the /dev is 100%

Where do I look for the large file? We are down,

Please give some advice
Thanks
 
I am a little afraid reboot, there are users that cannot get in now and if I reboot I have the fear that I will not be able to login!! Can you give me an example in the find command? thanks
 
How do you know the problem is in /dev ?
For me, if you're on OSR 5.0.X, the root filesystem is full.
If a root account is already logged, then try:
rm /tmp/* /usr/tmp/*
As you are done, you may execute this:
killall -t 10 15
killall
As you suspect /dev (backup on mistyped device name ?), you may try this:
find /dev -type f ! -name .marrylock -exec ls -l {} \;


Hope This Helps, PH.

The reason I figured it was on /dev is because of the message above. Could this be a large file resulting from a print job? The printers stopped working first.
I cannot get the find command to work that you gave me.
Any more ideas, and I sure appreciate your help.
 
I found the culprit!! Someone had sent a huge job to a printer and built a big file in: /var/spool/lps/lp08. I removed that and we are going again.
Thanks for your quick responses.
