Thanks to All who responded. Brett's suggestion pretty much hit the nail on
the head. There was some or other process that still had a file open when it
was deleted. I tried fuser -u to see which user was holding files open. It
didn't give me anything useful, other than what I suspect what some or other
HP-UX internal process. I quick reboot of the machine, free'd up /tmp
nicely.
Thanks Brett

try lsof, or fuser /tmp/
Either way, chances are likely that an open file was removed on that server.
Thats what usually happens.

Hi All,
I'm a little confused. We've run out of space on our /tmp filesystem. The
wierd thing is that the files that were listed there didn't add up to a 10th
of the space available for /tmp. Also I did a liting with -ab options to see
if there were any huge files with invisble characters in them and nothing
turned up. I'm wondering, if this is the doing of some rogue symbolic link
or something else. Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can find any sym
links pointing to /tmp or if they have any other ideas about what's chewing
up the space? I will summarise. TIA
Rgds,
