Hi ALL,
Thanks to all who responded, i have received So many response that it is
difficult to include all the names, but most of the replies talked about ,
mounting the particular filesystem or mount -a in single user mode.
But unfortunetly, in single user mode, i was not able to run
/sbin/mountall or mount -a
this as well displayed, commond not found
So finally did
cd /sbin
./mountall
This worked
then did ./bdf, as bdf command was not working.
noticed /var was 100% full, deleted few of the files.
After this just booted the servers, by reboot, this time, in single user it
accepted the reboot command, earlier even reboot was not accepted by System.
Now system reported /etc/passwd file not there. Recovered the file from the
/etc/passwd.old
System is up and running now.
BUT starnge part is i do not still understand two things
1. Why i could not execute /sbin/mountall, but cd /sbin and then ./mountall
worked.
2. How passwd file was missing. The same problem with passwd file was there
few days back and we recoved it thinking as manual error, how come a manual
error repeate itself. only difference was last time it was easy to work on,
as single user mode had no complication, it accepted all our commonds, but
this time it was little confusing because of the behaviour of singke user
mode.
Regards
Sonia.

Subject: not able to login
Hi,
I have N class HP Server with HPUX 11.x loaded on it.
All of a sudden a message was noticed on console "/usr/tmp is full" and then
after this no one was able to login to system.
System was brought in single user mode to see if passwd file is fine.
but after coming to single user mode , most of the commands system is not
able to take, it says not found.
Checked
cd /usr/bin, it says not found.
So looks may be this file is not there.
Could any one give me some hints , what all can be checked and if /usr/bin
is the actual problem, how to move forward.
Regards
Sonia.
