When i execute bdf, /home direcory seems 100% full. But when i check /home with 'du', total used memory is 30 MB in 1,4 Gb. how can I reduce this 100% to its real state?
Paste the output you get from df and du alongwith the commands you are executing.
Are you trying to make your filesystem smaller? Or are you trying to see how much space (freee and used) the filesystem has?

As you see from bdf, /home is 100%.
But in real state it has only 149 MB memory in /home directory:
egt81,sys,root # cd /home
egt81,sys,root # du -xsk * | sort -nr

What is the output of this:
du -ks /home
egt81,sys,root # du -ks /home
144769 /home
egt81,sys,root #
That is very puzzling. I thought this could be due to some hidden files which may evade the '*' but du on /home should take care of that. Since you are running as root, all files will be taken into account. Your /home occupancy from bdf is 1.28 gig whereas du is showing 144+ MB.
Honestly nothing else comes to mind. Btw, I have not encountered bdf before on solaris - is it some sort of bsd variant?
yep, bdf is HP-UX-specific command.
It could be a problem with open files. Try running lsof (may need to install it) to search for open files in /home.
However, changing run levels or a reboot should fix this.
fuser is the HPUX command you want.
The space open files that request a lot of disk space may not show up until the syncer daemon runs every 30 seconds or so. If the problem persists for a couple of hours you have some else going on with the /home filesystem. Try a reboot, or if all else fails fsck_vxfs.
yes, i've ever had this kind of problem before:confused:, and reboot was the final way that i took :D, perhaps anyone can help what should we do in this kind of situation beside reboot
thanks
I have faced a similar problem in a Solaris box..Unmounting the filesystem and mounting it again solved the problem for me...
