Thanks to everyone for their quick response... Darren Dunham francisco ric Harrington David Christopher McNabb John Benjamins Gary Lang Shyam Hazari Ryan RLeaon2 Sorry if i missed anyone.. Thanks again to all... Summary: There is a similar post and FAQ available tahnks to Bejamin for pointing that out: ftp://ftp.cs.toronto.edu/pub/jdd/sunmanagers/faq-2005 5.10) Where is my disk space? The "du" and "df" commands disagree. If a process is holding open a file, and that file is removed, the space belonging to the file is not freed until the process either exits or closes the file. This space is counted by "df" but not by "du". This often happens in /var/log or /var/adm when a long-running process (e.g. syslog) is holding open a file. In the case of syslog, send it a HUP (e.g. kill -HUP <syslog's process ID>). You can use LSOF (ftp://ftp.cerias.purdue.edu/pub/tools/unix/sysutils/lsof) to find which processes are holding open a particular file. Thanks to Stefan Voss <s dot voss at terradata.de> and Michael R. Zika <zika at oconto dot tamu dot edu> Under Solaris 2.6 and later, files which have been unlinked can still be accessed through the /proc interface. If a process is holding open such a file for writing, but it's inconvenient or impractical to kill the process or get it to close the file, you can free up the disk space Darren pointed out to do the same without lsof with find command: Here's a good way to check. This will look for regular files that have no links (have been deleted). Are any big and on the right filesystem? If so, the pid gives you the process that holds the file open. # find /proc -type f -links 0 -ls by truncating (not removing) the file from under /proc Solution: I tried all possible suggetions but didn't help. As a last resort rebooted the box and that finally fixed the proble. Tahnks a lot Gurus.. My original post was: I have an issue with Veritas file system (mirrored) 10G which shows its 97% full with df -k output. When i go in the file system df -k shows only ~150MB used. I don't know where the space is been occupied by filessytem?
