Hie
I am running a sun solaris server of about 300 gigabytes disk capacity. The problem is that the machine has been having problems over the past year and at times the machine would just freeze or hang and had to be re-booted. Consequently there are too many entries in the lost+found directories. Almost every file system ( I have 8 file systems on the server) has a lost+found directory which would consume up to 5 gigabytes of disk space. As a result i am running out of space on the machine.
What would be the effect of deleting entries from these lost+found directories? Are the effects disastrous? Can you advise me on the way forward becuase i need to release space for use by systems that are running on this machine.
Ranganai.
