Re: [foxboro] /opt partition keeps filling up

Here is a very easy tip to auger in on the culprit:

1. cd /opt
2. du -k * | sort -n

The output should give you the Kbytes (recursively) of each directory, =
in
order of size.

Subject: [foxboro] /opt partition keeps filling up


List,
The /opt partition on one of our AW51E's keeps filling up, and I can't =
find
any files (using "ls -lR" and exporting the result to an Excel file and
sorting by file size) that would account for the increase.  This AW51E =
has
AIM*Historian v3.12 and DMCBridge on it, and those were my first =
suspects,
but I can't find anything suspicious.  I checked the swap file, which is
also on /opt, and it hasn't grown.

One weird thing that happened when I first noticed this is that a log =
file
in /opt/dmcplus/app/<DMC+ APP NAME>/logs got really huge, as in over 1 =
GB,
and I deleted it, and we were back to a more normal disk usage.  But =
ever
since that day, the partition keeps filling up over the course of about =
3-4
days, as if that log file is filling up even though there is no actual =
log
file showing up in the list.  We happened to be step-testing a =
completely
different DMC+ app when that started, so I initially blamed it on the =
DMC+
data collection program, but we stopped that last Friday and it's still
doing it.

Is there a way for the /opt partition to fill up even though no files =
are
getting bigger?  Is there a better way to get the file sizes in /opt =
other
than "ls -lR"?  Any help would be appreciated.  Right now, I'm deleting
AIM*Historian files to buy some time, but I won't be able to do that =
much
longer.

Tim
