my backup rs/6000 reported a filled fs in the error log "errpt". "df -k" reported that the root fs was filled up.

After extending the root fs however , i am able to "ping" but un able to "telnet". The console also freezes thereby leading to a cold reboot.

Please help!
 
If the reboot does not help - possibly you have a corrupted root FS.
Then try :


1. Boot from AIX CD as if you do a Coldstart
2. Press F1 and enter to select the console (Key Board)
3. Type 1 and press enter for English
4. Type 3 and press enter for “Start Maintenance Mode…”
5. Type 1 and press enter for “Access a Root volume group”
6. Type 0 and press enter to continue
7. Type 1 and press enter to select the system hdisk
8. Type 1 and press enter to Access this volume group and to start a shell. Now you should have a normal prompt.
9. At the shell prompt, we will try to do the repair mechanism. Enter the following:

fsck -y /dev/hd4

Look at fsck output for any errors that are displayed. If a filesystem has been hosed, it may require a reload of the system, depending on the file system in question and the level of problem.


Long live king Moshiach !
