Clearing space in a particular fie system.

[shailesh333]

Hi
I am running some tests on solaris 5.8, and I need to run it for min 30 days. However "df -k ."m shows disk usage as 98%. I clear all logs using "cat /dev/null > log_file" , still the disk usage shows 98 %. The test has been running for 15 day now. Please suggest how I can find other files/dir which are eating into my current file system

Thanks in advance

try "du -h" command from root of the file system.
This will show you exact file/directory sizes recursively.

You have to check manually for unwanted files. Then delete it.

Hi!

I'm not sure, if you can run GTK software on solaris 5.8, but if so baobab could be a graphical alternative. It basically does the same job as the command ashitpro suggested, but it then displays it visually. I've always found it very pleasant to work with.

Greetings,
