/usr filesystem is 100% Full.

[aix8769]

Hi,

AIX 6.1 server, /usr filesystem got Full and it reached 100%.

How to free the space in the filesystem ?

What house keeping can be done here ?

Total PPs: 669
Free PPs :0

I can't even increase the space in the filesystem as the Free PPs :0

Please help me with your solutions.

Regards,
Aparna.

Hi Aparna,

Please check, whether any filesets are in Applied state if so please commit so that it will release some space in /usr filesystem.

#installp -c all ---> to commit all the applied filesystems.

Hi Aparna,
Find out why the /usr is full, what is the size of file system ideally we keep it more than 4GB. Apart from system Admins is any one using the same filesystem?
run
# du -m /usr and see which file is actually consuming so much space on the FS. If it belongs to some one else ask them to either move or delete it.
