Solaris file system unable to use available space

Hi,

The solaris filesystem /u01 shows available space as 100GB, and used space as 6 GB.

The Problem is when iam trying to install some software or copy some files in this file system /u01 Iam unable to copy or install in this file system due to lack of space.

ofcourse the software files are off size lesser than 100GB i mean not morethan 4 GB.

My question is why iam not able to use the available space. How to solve this issue.

Early response is highly appreciated.

thanks,

What commands report that 100GB of available space?

df -h

kind help is appreciated.

thanks,

Post the output of that command please.

sorry I can't post the output as iam not in office right now, can you give some solutions to try so that i will workout at my office.

thanks,

Well, it is possible that there are some quotas configured on the filesystem. To check this out you have to know if the filesystem is UFS or ZFS. If it is ZFS, then you should check those commands:

zfs get quota zfs_dataset_name_for_/u01
zfs userspace zfs_dataset_name_for_/u01
zfs groupspace zfs_dataset_name_for_/u01

If the filesystem is UFS then check:

repquota /u01

if quota is less, than how to modify or assign more quota.

thanks,

If the quota is reported by zfs get quota ... , then

zfs set quota=new_value zfs_dataset_name_for_/u01

or

zfs set quota=none zfs_dataset_name_for_/u01

will do the trick. If it is set on user level, reported by zfs userspace ... then this will modify it:

zfs set userquota@user=new_value zfs_dataset_name_for_/u01

If the filesystem is UFS with quotas configured, then use

edquota username

to modify quotas for particular user for that filesystem.

help is appreciated,

thanks.

filesystem is zfs ?

How to know the which file system solaris is using.

thanks,

It is using ZFS if you will see /u01 in the output of

zfs list

if your file system is zfs you can set quota by
zfs set userqouta@user-name=quota file-system
zfs set groupquota@groupname=quota file-system
bye

The following is displayed when zfs list is executed.

FORMS10g >zfs list
no datasets available

kind early help appreciated.

This means that there are no ZFS filesystems on this server. Check quota for UFS as I described few posts above.

getting the shown below error:

root@EXAPPT # edquota oradev
/etc/mnttab: no UFS filesystems with quotas file

early help needed.

thanks

What command (the installer) is producing the error about lack of space? Can you post output of that command? As you can see above /u02 does not have 100GB of free space, but /u02/iomssas does. Maybe you are trying to install the software under /u02, while it should go under /u02/iomssas?

I think that you try to install the package on 4.4 GB free and you have minfree space from them so it is not enough for your application to be installed.

I want to ask how you make a system /u02 as 19G and a sub file system as 119G , I don't see something like this before. u02 should be 119 and the sub-file system have a qouta from it .
