Dear managers,
thanks to

I was informed that the disk is not freed before the processes that
have created the files have terminated, even if I removed the files
with rm before. I don't think that was an issue here. I removed a lot
of files that were created months ago by rsync (most likely no running
process), but it still did not update the df output.
I then used "du -sk /* | sort -nr | more" (thanks to John Kennedy) to
efficiently find large files, found one, removed it and now I am at 81%
diskusage in /. I still don't know why removing the other files did not
do the trick, but I am at least away from devcon 3 again.
Thanks a lot!
Regards,
Andreas
Original question:
I got an emergency call today (malfunction of an applicatioin). I
logged into the Solaris 9 machine and got
2006-03-25 09:32:07.000 make_services[587] Failed to create lock
directory '/home/ahoesch/GNUstep/Defaults/.GNUstepDefaults.lck' - No
space left on device
I checked df and realized that the disk is full.
bash-2.05# df -k
Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/md/dsk/d0 56430398 56076236 0 100% /

117184 117184 0 100% /cdrom/991-2000k
Well, I removed a bunch of files with "rm -rf" and expected that I
would see some free disk space in "df -k" then, but that's notthe case.
It remains at capacity 0. What am I doind wrong and what's the best
approach to find the cause for the immense disk consumption?
