- Recently our /tmp file system started to fill up. I went to /tmp and deleted
- unnecessary files. However, this did not release any space in the file system
- according to df. I went ahead and deleted all of the files in /tmp and the
- file system was still 100% full! I ran fsck on /tmp and got:
-
-
- ** Checking /dev/hd3 (/tmp) MOUNTED FILE SYSTEM; WRITING SUPPRESSED;
- ** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes
- ** Phase 2 - Check Pathnames
- ** Phase 3 - Check Connectivity
- ** Phase 4 - Check Reference Counts
- ** Phase 5 - Check Inode Map
- The Inode map is not valid. (NOT SALVAGED)
- ** Phase 6 - Check Block Map
- The Block map is not valid. (NOT SALVAGED)
- The integrity of the file system is not guaranteed.
- 109 files 3576 blocks 37384 free
-
- To keep the system up, I created another /tmp file system and mounted it over
- /tmp. After later rebooting the system and running fsck (you can't run fsck
- and write to /tmp when it's mounted) the problem disappered. However, half a
- day later the problem repeated itself.
-
- After a few days the problem seemed to correct itself. However, today the
- same problem happened to /usr/ingres/files, a user-defined filesystem on a
- total different physical disk. Any suggestions?
