Hi. I have a pool that is full. 100% capacity. I tried to rm -f files as root. The files dont get removed. What can I do to remedy this? Help please! Kind regards. Luke. -- Luke Vanderfluit Analyst / Web Programmer e3Learning.com.au 08 8221 6422
Do you have any snapshots present? If so, perhaps you can destroy one to free up space? Is the whole pool full, or are you talking about a filesystem that has reached it''s quota limit?

At least three alternatives -- 1. If you don''t have the latest patches installed, apply them. There have been bugs in this area which have been fixed. 2. If you still can''t remove files with the latest patches, and you have a service contract with Sun, open a service request to get help. 3. Add a new device (or RAID group) to the pool, which will give you free space again. You can then delete files, at the cost of having your pool larger, since you can''t remove it again.

Hi Guys. Thanks very much for your help. I deleted some snapshots to make space. After that I could delete other files. I''m going to have to add capacity to the pool soon.

And if there is a rubbish file somewhere, I *think* you should be able to cat /dev/null > thatfile Which would free up it''s blocks. Assuming you don''t have snapshots... ;) Nathan. Anton B.
