/var has only 0% free

Hello Everyone,

I am facing an issue with an F5 3900 appliance. The system is broadcasting the following message:

011d0004:3: Disk partition var has only 0% free

Upon running df -h command, I see the below output:

When I run the diskmonitor command:

Broadcast message from root (pts/0) (Sun Aug  7 13:14:02 2016):

011d0004:3: Disk partition var has only 0% free

I tried clearing all unnecessary files from /var/log and /var/tmp, also removed all old UCS files, removed old ISO files in F5 images and hotfixes but still same error persists. Also looked at SOL14403

When I run the command to check the top 20 files, below is what I get:

I am not sure what to do next. Your help is appreciated.

    Looks like lots of ASM sig files are taking up the disk space in /var/ts/var/tmp. I'd open a support case for this.

     

  • so even though you deleted files the df -h remains saying 100% in use?

     

    what about df -i

     

    there was a question about this recently, something with files not getting freed. unsure if there was a command to fix it or just a restart, are you able to try that?
