  • Hi, you should exclude foreign mount points in your call of du. The execution of du -hx / --max-depth=1 should give you a more granular insight, where the root filesystem is utilized.
  • so maybe you should look for any open file handles for deleted files. (for example by executing "lsof | grep deleted") there is also a column showing the size of the file (and the process who is owning the handle).
  • hi DerInti ,finally some file at /tmp was still in held by process from tmsh script to backup system ucs, btw thx for help
  • Thanks a lot, it helped me to find files which were not actually deleted

     

  • For me the isof-command helped, thanks to DerInti.

     

    It indicated some "hanging" tcpdump process, so after a "kill -9 " everything was fine again and I was back to 60%.

     

    Ciao Stefan :)
