Hello list. I`ve set up a little bash script to tell me when some file system is over 95% full and after a month I got a mail about my root file system ( / ) after log in I sow that the root file system is over 100%. That is fine I tried to do a search for big and nasty files and so on but after a hour magically the file system was at 20%. That got me very worried about any security issue, but nothing was missing and so on. The issue is that the file system continues to grow about a 2 presents a day, which is strange. Here is some output:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/wd0a 1005M 251M 704M 26% / /dev/wd0k 46.7G 26.0K 44.4G 0% /home /dev/wd0d 3.9G 8.0K 3.7G 0% /tmp /dev/wd0f 2.0G 615M 1.3G 32% /usr /dev/wd0g 1005M 145M 809M 15% /usr/X11R6 /dev/wd0h 5.4G 206M 5.0G 4% /usr/local /dev/wd0i 2.0G 619M 1.3G 32% /usr/src /dev/wd0e 8.9G 585M 7.8G 7% /var /dev/wd0j 2.0G 961M 951M 50% /usr/obj /dev/wd1a 295G 562M 280G 0% /storage/storages /dev/wd1b 110G 20.7G 83.7G 20% /storage/windows r...@sgate:/root# find / -xdev -size +1000 -type f | xargs ls -laSh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 6.9M Nov 25 16:39 /bsd -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 6.9M Nov 25 14:16 /obsd -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 5.8M Nov 25 14:16 /bsd.rd -r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 1.2M Dec 7 15:05 /sbin/isakmpd -r--r--r-- 1 root bin 526K Dec 7 15:06 /etc/magic r...@sgate:/root# find / -xdev -mtime -1 -type f | xargs ls -laSh -rw------- 1 root wheel 2.0K Dec 18 03:09 /etc/pf.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 507B Dec 18 03:08 /etc/hosts -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0B Dec 18 02:49 /etc/resolv.conf The other strange thing is that I`ve set up the /etc/daily root backup and here is the compare between two discs: /dev/wd1d 1005M 42.2M 912M 4% /altroot /dev/wd0a 1005M 251M 704M 26% / since /altroot is exact dd copy of / isn`t they at the same size? Thank you for your time Best regards.
