Andrew, I didn't know about the du tool. Here it goes. BTW it completely trashes everything when this happens, so I hope I can find out and give evryone a heads up when using large datasets and the Catalog. Thanks Andrew! Jason Andrew Lahser wrote:
Jason,
I am assuming that you have done "du -s *" in the root partition, and you can not find a file that is growing.
Install lsof (list open files). Use lsof to query the open files. Potentially, a file may have been deleted while a process was still holding it open. If this occurs, the file no longer appears in the filesystem, but continues to take up space.
For example, try
lsof | grep tmp | less
Once, we left a "tail -f filel.log" running on a virtual console, but deleted the file.log from the filesystem. When we killed the tail -f process, the file was automatically deleted.

Scott,
My /tmp had only one file and that was for KDE in it. ls -a revealed nothing else in there. I looked in all of the tmp directories, because I thought the same thing.

Zopists,
Does anyone know the best way to find which file is growing to insane proportions during an Catalog Update? It's not in /Zope's partition. Zope has it's own parition, as does /Zope/var. I'm trying to find it, but to now avail. The "/" root partition is growing and is now at 70% in a disk free results. It started at 30%. It's a 1GB partition. The only partition growing is "/" Now it's at 71%. Any ideas. RH 5.2 Linux 2.0.36 kernel Python 1.5.2 Zope beta5
I have a ~100 MB Data.fs file, and about 22,000 objects after a recent
pack.
All my best,
Um, here's a shot in the dark, Is your /tmp directory part of your root partition?
