Dear managers
I am finding that the /usr directory slowly fills up:
yoda.vir.gla.ac.uk> df
Filesystem 512-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
root_domain#root 524288 455190 41024 92% /
/proc 0 0 0 100% /proc
usr_domain#usr 4194304 4010042 63808 99% /usr
/dev/disk/dsk0h 28401404 10038892 15522370 40% /DBdisk
/dev/disk/dsk1c 8123912 4832428 2479092 67% /yd1
/dev/disk/dsk3c 69558812 37875490 24727440 61% /yd2
The usr_domain was 97% full a couple of weeks ago and has gradually
crept towards 99%. Whenever it gets to the level that the system
issues a warning, I delete a few unnecessary things (eg. currently
unused programs and libraries), but it always seems to creep back
upwards usually within 2-3 weeks or so. According to HP support, I
can't resize this domain as I don't have the appropriate
licenses. In any case, making /usr larger would just avoid the issue
rather than tackle its cause. Nothing has been installed recently:
yoda.vir.gla.ac.uk> ls -lt /usr
total 368

Any ideas on how to identify what's filling the disks and how to switch it off?
All answers, as always, gratefully appreciated.
Derek
