ES40 Tru64 5.1B PK4.
I have a strange problem. Processes started hanging on our oracle
database server about a week ago. "dirclean" process started from
cron are all hung. Some "cp" commands copying files to one
filesystem are also hung.
Below are results from a dirclean that I started. The first time,
I started it without the trailing "/", and just got the error message.
The second time, I added the trailing "/", just like it comes from crontab.
It is now hung.
willow> /usr/sbin/dirclean -t +2 -o -n -k s /tmp
dirclean: Starting directory argument is not a directory: /tmp
(this one is hung)
willow> /usr/sbin/dirclean -t +2 -o -n -k s /tmp/
Here is the /tmp entry:
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/disk/dsk5a 257560 124538 120144 51% /
/dev/disk/dsk18a 548159 1696 519055 1% /cluster/members/member0/tmp
in fstab:
/dev/disk/dsk18a /tmp ufs rw 0 2
ls -l from root:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 26 Mar 21 2001 tmp@ -> cluster/members/{memb}/tmp
I dont think that it is especially to do with /tmp.
Here are a few jobs hung up operating on /dsk14f2

We rebooted last week, but the problem did not resolve.
So now cron has reached MAX jobs.
Does anyone know how to help me with this?
Thanks
