Re: Something is filling up my /oracle file system - URGENT

I don't have an AIX environment to see if this command is usable there, but usually "/usr/sbin/fuser <mount-point>" will display the processes that have open file-handles within the mount-point.

Another tactic would be to run "du -k <mount-point>", saving the output to a file. Then, do it again a few minutes later, save the output to another file. Then perform "diff" on the two output files. Once you find a directory, then you should be able to zero in to a file or files, and using "fuser" on the file(s) that are growing should point to the culprit process...

Hope this helps...
