What I normally do is: df -F ufs -k To see the files systems and how full they are. Go to a full one, e.g., cd /opt Use du to see how much space each directory is taking: du -k * This will list the size of each directory. I then go to each of the big ones and see what is using the space. If you do this on a similar machine, you can get some reference sizes. I repeat the du -k * as necessary to figure out where the "extra" is.

I moved some of these off of one of our sites' AW this week because /opt was 99% used. Search for files that start with "r", then a sequential number, and end in .bdf, I think. These are under /opt/aim in some subdirectory. I can't remember the subdirectory name, but you should be able to find it with filemgr. Next time I'm on site, I'll try and get the full path. But these are historian files for a given time period. They can be archived and then removed.
