I've got a system here--Alphaserver ES40, running Tru64 5.1a (no patches). I
was looking at disk space (or lack thereof), and noticed that the root
filesystem is filling up--but I can't find out where the space is going. The
root filesystem has been at the same
%used for at least the last 6 months, but now all of a sudden something is being
written here.
I did an ls -tl on / and the only two directories with today's date on them are
/proc and .sh_history. I figured if a file was being written or something, then
the directory that it is in would have it's timestamp updated. I looked in the
/tmp directory and found nothing of any significance. I also did a find
. -mtime 1 -print but nothing really came up (except a bunch of stuff from
/proc, and stuff from other filesystems).
So I was just wondering how I could go about finding out what is using this
space up? I'm sure there is some trick to it that I'm not aware of. Thanks in
advance for any advice.
