Celerra Redhat root file system running out of space
I have the Celerra configured with 30GB and 15GB file systems.
Although there is plenty of space available on the Celerra file system the Redhat root file system is being being filled as I move files.
The first time it happened the root file system in Redhat hit 100% and the Celerra was thrashed.
After reloading the simulator I started with 8% used in the root file system or RedHat and now it's up to 77%. The Simulator indicates that /nbnas file system exceeds 67% but I can't find any documentation on how to resolve this.
Are there specific files that are being created and if so where are they located.
Is there a workaround for this or is this expected behavior.
If not is there a way to clean up the simulator data which would also clear up lost space in the Redhat host system.
[nasadmin@localhost blackbird]$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 37G 28G 8.2G 77% /
/dev/sda1 45M 9.0M 34M 21% /boot
none 503M 0 503M 0% /dev/shm

I apologize for the late reply. If you haven't resolved your issue, maybe I can help.
I'm a little confused with what you've done. Where did you create your 30 GB and 15 GB file systems? One of the differences between a Celerra and a Simulator is that the Celerra mounts several file systems - some of them, like /nbsnas, is on the backend. The Simulator just has directories of the same name. For example, if you were to stop nas on a Celerra, you would lose the /nas directory, but on a Simulator, you would still have it. This means that on a Simulator, /nbsnas, and all directories on the Simulator, are just a directories in the root file system.
I wonder if this is what is tripping you up...
