Ref Root directory is full

[uadmin]

Hi
After creating 2mb of free space from root we still seem to be showing the disk is at 100%.we have brought the system down and backup and we are getting the following
error :
/sbin/lvlnboot not found
/sbin/insf not found
When the system was backup up we were able to mount all the drives backup and this seems fine , how ever if you look
in sam at the logical volumes you will get the following message:

WARNING! SAM was unable to find the /sbin/lssf command on your |
| system. Execution will continue, but information displayed may be |
| incorrect or incomplete.

We have removed all files that that are marked old and ran the following :
find / -name "core" -f -exec rm

This has not resolved any issues could you please help
Regards
Simon


We have ran find / -name "core" -type f - exec rm and also removed some files marked old.

Could you please advise me as there seems to be no files i can remove due to the rest are system files.

First what command did you use to increase root.
Try running the bdf command are any drives full.
Try vgdisplay /dev/vg00 to see if theres any free PE you may use.

Bellow I copied a man page on lvlnboot, there's on line in here that relates to your situation.


If a different logical volume is already linked to the root or primary swap, the command fails.






The lvlnboot command updates all physical volumes in the volume group
so that the logical volume becomes the root, boot, primary swap, or a
dump volume when the system is next booted on the volume group. If a
nonexistent logical volume is specified, this command fails. If a
different logical volume is already linked to the root or primary
swap, the command fails

Sounds like you might have deleted a few too many files there....

What software package is lvlnboot part of? Would it be possible to reinstall that using swinstall? Mike

Email welcome if you're in a hurry or something -- but post in tek-tips as well please, and I will post my reply here as well.

I have known drives to get very full after multiple crashes. Try looking in /var/adm/crash and /var/adm/diag Ussualy there are a lot of log file sin ther that just take up space.

If you find any files at all in either of these directories they can be deleted without any harm.

A bdf before and after will show wether deleting them has made any difference.

Also anything in /lost+found can be rm'd as well

Hope this helps
