Ran out of space on /dev/root partition

Applications Filesystems, Disks and Memory

hi,

I have a SCO unix server which has a 36gb hard drive, but the IT company who supplied it assigned 1gb to /dev/root, 15mb to /dev/boot and 33gb to /dev/u.

The /dev/root partition is now full, is there a way I can use the 33gb assigned to /dev/u without loosing any data, preferably without having to reload the system and data.

Also what is the /dev/u partition?

You can use soft links, e.g. mkdir usr on /dev/u, move content of /usr to the created directory then ls -s path_to_dev_u_usr /usr

NO GUARANTEE, just idea

Before you start moving stuff around, check for files that may be causing the space issue such as log files, core files, tar files,...

See aplawrence.com no space
