I am using SunOs 4.1.3U1 on a Sparc 2. I have been having some trouble with the system filling up the disk partition which contains the root filesystem and the unix kernal. I don't know what is causing this or how to find out. The best suggestion I have had is to use du - but on the "/" directory du will list everything on the machine (except files I don't have read access to) and will therefore not be of much use since there are ~ 3600 files. As well I have not found any core files in this area. (all my log files should be in /var ?) The df command reveals: solar:mhart 66[~]$ df Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on /dev/sd0a 10079 9298 0 102% / /dev/sd3a 203591 169896 13336 93% /usr /dev/sd3g 1050958 203012 742851 21% /home /dev/sd0e 27751 602 24374 2% /tmp /dev/sd0h 249895 200752 24154 89% /usr/local /dev/sd0g 46135 6373 35149 15% /var /dev/sd1a 1959757 1042513 721269 59% /home/Data /dev/sd1b 1959757 656337 1107445 37% /home/mhart/X solar:mhart 67[~]$ And the ls -al command reveals solar:mhart 67[/]$ ls -al total 7931 drwxr-xr-x 18 root 1024 Feb 19 12:44 . drwxr-xr-x 18 root 1024 Feb 19 12:44 .. -rw------- 1 root 197 Apr 13 1993 .Xauthority -rw-r--r-- 1 root 2021 Jun 9 1993 .ax_profile -rw-r--r-- 1 root 6391 Jul 22 1994 .bash_history -rw-r--r-- 1 root 1182 Jun 30 1994 .bashrc -rw-r--r-- 1 root 214 Mar 30 1993 .cshrc drwx------ 2 root 512 May 18 1995 .elm -rw-r--r-- 1 root 20 Sep 28 1995 .forward -rw-r--r-- 1 root 50 Jun 23 1994 .inputrc -rw-r--r-- 1 root 146 Apr 20 1993 .login -rw-r--r-- 1 root 106 Jul 6 1994 .profile -rw-r--r-- 1 root 23 Aug 29 1994 .rhosts drwxr-xr-x 2 root 512 Mar 29 1993 .wastebasket lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 10 Oct 20 12:01 Data -> /home/Data drwx------ 2 root 512 May 18 1995 Mail -rw-r--r-- 1 root 4288 Jun 3 1994 adduser lrwxrwxrwx 1 howes 16 Apr 20 1993 asi -> /home/bender/asi lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 7 Mar 29 1993 bin -> usr/bin -r--r--r-- 1 root 110352 Mar 29 1993 boot drwxr-xr-x 2 root 512 Mar 29 1993 cdrom drwxr-sr-x 2 bin 11264 Feb 19 12:45 dev drwxr-sr-x 10 bin 2048 Mar 5 08:29 etc drwxr-sr-x 4 root 512 Mar 29 1993 export -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 1731894 Mar 29 1993 genvmunix drwxrwxr-x 14 root 512 Nov 16 11:29 home -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 248720 Mar 29 1993 kadb lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 7 Mar 29 1993 lib -> usr/lib drwxr-xr-x 2 root 8192 Mar 29 1993 lost+found -rw------- 1 root 5533 Sep 5 1994 mbox drwxr-sr-x 2 bin 512 Jul 24 1992 mnt drwxr-sr-x 2 root 512 Mar 29 1993 pcfs drwxr-xr-x 2 root 512 Apr 2 1993 sasuser drwxr-sr-x 2 bin 512 Mar 29 1993 sbin lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 13 Mar 29 1993 sys -> ./usr/kvm/sys drwxrwsrwt 13 root 14336 Apr 1 13:43 tmp drwxr-xr-x 30 root 1024 Mar 30 1993 usr drwxr-xr-x 12 root 512 Jul 6 1994 var -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 1369644 Jan 5 09:38 vmunix -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 1369548 Mar 30 1993 vmunix.old0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root 1741916 Oct 19 17:13 vmunix.old1 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 1369644 Oct 27 12:55 vmunix.old2 solar:mhart 68[/]$ -- +-------------------------------+------------------------------------+ | Michael HART | "If you want a straight line take | | Dept of Professional Studies | only two points." | | University Of New South Wales | "If reproducibility is a problem | | mhart@solar.profs.unsw.edu.au | do the experiment only once." | +-------------------------------+------------------------------------+ -- +-------------------------------+------------------------------------+ | Michael HART | "If you want a straight line take | | Dept of Professional Studies | only two points." | | University Of New South Wales | "If reproducibility is a problem |
