Hi,
I have a mailing application running on RedHat 7.3, Every couple of months we have a problem with the inodes getting used up on the /var partition. There is a lot of space on the partition, However the inodes are used up by a lot of 0 byte files by this application. I just wanted to ask the gurus in the list, if anyone came across this problem and how they went about trying to solve it.
I had to find out the 0 byte files in /var and then deleted the 0 byte files.
Thanks..
Regards, Keith
Any particular application creating these 0 byte files?
find /var -size 0 | xargs rm -f

<snip> If its in /var/log/subsys then do not delete them, as those are created by startup script of services. Apart, you can take out any other file. ( but check the services files first before doing anything. )
