Hello,

my FS /var/spool/qdaemon is 95% (of 1 GB) full but when i check it, there's
nothing in it !
I tried to stopsrc / startsrc qdaemon... lpd... spooler... umount the FS,
mount in again... nothing, it's allways 95% full.

Perhaps a process is locking something or a deleted file stays in a "ghost"
state.

The easiest way to unlock the problem could be to reboot but it's my 7d/7
production server

If you have an idea...
Thanks in advance

Philippe

Try and fuser -u against the file. You can then see what process has it
locked.

I've already tried this... but no answer !

If you are able to umount the fs then NO process is writing into the
filesystem.

So for trouble shooting:

umount the fs
do a fsck on the fs
remount the fs

let us know the result

Are you running it against the /dev/<lvname> for your filesystem? I
find your problem a bit odd, especially if you say you can unmount the
filesystem (if a process is locked on a filesystem it will not allow it
to unmount). Have you tried find /var/spool/qdeamon -xdev -ls? perhaps
there is another file there. If you have lsof you might want to run it
against the filesystem to and check the output (you might find something
in the lost+found directory).

Yes, it's OK with "fsck".
ThanX for your help ;-)
