Thanks to Mahendra Rajah, David Smith, Andy Cohen, rkeller@lsoft.com
<mailto:rkeller@lsoft.com> , Bryan LeVelle, Mike Mehall, Raman Kumar, and
Murtaza Talawala for their responses. It looks like Bryan LaVelle's answer
best answers the two questions.
Looked at this a little bit and I think the answer is going to be reboot. A
stop and restart of a filesystem is needed to free up i-nodes that can be
freed, and since this is the root filesystem in question, reboot. This may
help the df -k issue as well, although as pointed out in many, many
responses to the df -k usage on advfs filesets, it's not an advfs tool and
therefore isn't reliable on advfs filesets.

Will not be able to test this out becasue this is a computer that really
is 24x7 and a number of other boxes depend on this machine and I will not be
able to reboot anytime soon. The good thing is that this is just a database
server and nothing new is created in root and the business in not impacted
by all of root's inodes being used.
Thanks again,

Admins,
I currently have a GS140 running Tru64 5.1 pk. 3. about 1 hour ago,
the root file system maxed out at 100%. We removed the file that was
causing the disk space usage, but when you do a df -k the diskspace is at
82% and when you do a /sbin/showfdmn the diskspace is at 91%. Also, when I
do a df -i the free inodes are at 0%. Two questions
1. How do I get my diskspace totals back to where df -k and
showfdmn are the same percentage?
2. How do I get inodes back?
TIA,
Chris Bryant
