Just wanted to let everyone know what happened. We use websphere broker V8. The execution groups on the broker use the /tmp directory to allocate work files. The /tmp TFS system that was used was from the V1.13 serverpack which was only 100meg. We finally stopped all the brokers which released the /tmp area. Since we run 5 brokers we went for the throat and defined a zfs file system on a 3390 mod 9 with 9000 cyls. With just two brokers up and running 9% of the /tmp filesystem is used up. You can do the math and see why we were having problems with the brokers and anything that was using/trying to use the /tmp filesystem. Lesson learned.
Thanks for the fuser command. It helped us figure out who was using the /tmp file system. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Paul Gilmartin Sent: Monday, April 08, 2013 5:48 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: TFS tmp directory problems On Mon, 8 Apr 2013 21:50:28 +0000, Gibney, Dave wrote: >My point was to possibly make it bigger.

I don't know whether fuser reports files that have been unlinked but remain open, which may be the OP's problem. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ========================== This email, and any files transmitted with it, is confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
