find the lost space +

I got many responses recommending lsof or fuser.

I am sorry not to clarify my sitution in original
mail.

I don't know who/when the file was deleted and don't
know the filename either. Just because of the weird
space difference, I suspect some log files have been
removed with processes up and running.

I thought the /proc structure should contain the file
node information and am writing a script to go through
all the related process. In the mean time, I am open
to other methods or opinions.:-)

best regards,

zhu

Hello everyone,

One team member removed a big log file without killing
the process, causing disk space un-released from
process.

We are running solaris 9 with volume manager 4.0. Is
there anyway I can find that particular process
without rebooting the whole system?

thanks very much!

zhu
