Hello mates, I am having trouble with my solaris 11 OS root file system. The problem is when I reboot the system, the root file system fills

ajoya · 11-18-2023, 12:09 AM

My actual space is 147 GB and the root file system shows 83% after reboot, as soon as the system is rebooted, the space gets filled to 100%. I have checked the /var, /temp and all other directories are 1 to 2%, the / directory starts to fill up in a couple of minutes ironically.
Could anybody please kindly help me in this regard?

So, first thing is find out what it is that is filling it, second is to find what is creating it....

(I don't use Solaris, so can't help with specifics.)

What does lsof show?

Solaris ships without lsof.

fuser
pfiles
netstat -u

have only a part of its functionality.
Maybe a Solaris binary can be downloaded from a free repository.
And the lsof source code should compile well.

A quick overview of the biggest files:

Code:

du -akx / | sort -n

The recently modified big files:

Code:

find / -xdev -mtime -1 -size +8 -exec ls -sd {} + | sort -n
