How to clear or expand root filesystem on Data Mover?

Have a data mover that has a 98% full filesystem. Looking through documentation not sure if I can just expand a root filesystem just like any data volume or if there are any caveats to doing this. Also not sure if there is a way to view the data on this volume and possibly clear some old logs.

Thanks.

I found the way onto the root filesystem:

cd /nasmcd/rootfs/slot_2

Now the question becomes - how do I shrink the security.evt file which is consumming most of the space?

I think the easiest way to shrink the security.evt file is to use a CIFS client and mmc

If you have this more often you can look into storing the security.evt in a different location. Take a look at the "Using Windows Administrative Tools with Celerra" manual on how to do this

I was hoping to find a way to do this through the Celerra interface - but I was able to get someone from our Windows support team to shrink down the security log using the described method. The Celerra is supported by the SAN team in my company which does not have admin rights by default in AD.

To boot the issue is triggered because of an AD policy setting the Security log size to 128MB while the entire celerra root filesystem is only 110MB.

Now I need to either see about growing rootfs, moving the security log, or possibly getting the policy skipped for this one host.
