Increasing file system space and /

Running Solaris 10 SPARC
V445R
I have (2ea) 73GB disk (Mirrored)
I would like to add 2 additional 73GB disk
Mirror 0 against 1 and Mirror 2 against 3
I would like to increase /usr (c0t0d0s4), /var (c0t0d0s3) and /generic (c0t0d0s6)
I believe the file system is limited to 7 partitions (slices s0-6).
slice s6 would be entirely on the second set of disks.
w/Solaris 10 is there an easier way to add space to the file system than backup everything, split the mirror, format, partition, mirror, load backups
Thanks

Assuming you're using SVM, see the following links to see if they help. I don't have a system I can alter just now, but have these bookmarked. Good luck.

Just in case, I'd make sure to have a backup. ;)

Export 500gb database size to a 100gb file system space in oracle 10g

Hi All,
Please let me the know the procedure to export 500gb database to a 100gb file system space. Please let me know the procedure.

Hi Linda,
The database version is 10g and OS is linux. Can we use filesize parameter for the export. Please advice on this.FILESIZE will limit the size of a file in case you specify multiple dumpfiles. You could also could specify multiple dump directory (in different FS) when given multiple dumpfiles.
For instance :
dumpfile=dump_dir1:file1,dump_dir2:file2,dump_dir3:file3...Nicolas.

ZFS File system space issue

Hi All,
Kindly help how to resolve ZFS File system space issue. I have deleted nearly 20 GB but File system size remains the same. Kindly advice on it.
Thanks,
Kumar

The three reasons that I'm aware of that causes deleting files not to return space are 1) the file is linked to multiple names 2) deleting files which are still open by a process and 3) deleting files which are backed up by a snapshot. While it is possible you deleted 20GB in multiply linked and/or open files, I'd guess snapshots to be most likely case.
For multiple "hard" links, you can see the link count (before you delete the file) in the "ls -l" command (the second field). If it is greater than one, deleting the file won't free up space. You have to delete all file names linked to the file to free up the space.
For open files, you can use the pfiles command to see what files a process has open. The file space won't be recovered until all processes with a file open close it. Killing the process will do the job. If you like to use a big hammer, a reboot kills everything.
For snapshots: Use the "zfs -t snapshot" command and look at the snapshots. The space used by the snapshot indicates how much space is held by the snapshot. Deleting the snapshot will free up space unless the space is still being held by another snapshot. To free space held by a file, you have to delete all snapshots which contain that file.
Hopefully, I got all of this right.

Can you upload to a file system directly and not to wwv_flow_file_objects$

The following link shows how to upload a file. These files that are uploaded are stored in a table called wwv_flow_file_objects$ .
However what if I want to upload a file but save it to the file system (share) and not put it into wwv_flow_file_objects$ is that possible
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31036_01/doc/appdev.22/b28839/up_dn_files.htm#CJAHDJDA
When you use the file upload item type, the files you upload are stored in a table called wwv_flow_file_objects$

It has to be loaded to wwv_flow_file_objects$, but you can use the
UTL_FILE package to write it to a directory the database has access to. Use FOPEN with open_mode wb and use the PUT_RAW procedure to write into the file. Use READ procedure of the DBMS_LOB package to read your BLOB in junks.
UTL_FILE: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/u_file.htm#i1003526
DBMS_LOB: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_lob.htm#i999170
I think that should work.

Dfc: Display file system space usage using graph and colors

Hi all,
I wrote a little tool, somewhat similar to df(1) which I named dfc.
To present it, nothing better than a screenshot (because of colors):
And there is a few options available (as of version 3.0.0):
Usage: dfc [OPTIONS(S)] [-c WHEN] [-e FORMAT] [-p FSNAME] [-q SORTBY] [-t FSTYPE]
[-u UNIT]
Available options:
-a print all mounted filesystem
-b do not show the graph bar
-c choose color mode. Read the manpage
for details
-d show used size
-e export to specified format. Read the manpage
for details
-f disable auto-adjust mode (force display)
-h print this message
-i info about inodes
-l only show information about locally mounted
file systems
-m use metric (SI unit)
-n do not print header
-o show mount flags
-p filter by file system name. Read the manpage
for details
-q sort the output. Read the manpage
for details
-s sum the total usage
-t filter by file system type. Read the manpage
for details
-T show filesystem type
-u choose the unit in which
to show the values. Read the manpage
for details
-v print program version
-w use a wider bar
-W wide filename (un truncate)
If you find it interesting, you may install it from the AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=57770
(it is also available on the archlinuxfr repository for those who have it enabled).
For further explanations, there is a manpage or the wiki on the official website.
Here is the official website: http://projects.gw-computing.net/projects/dfc
If you encounter a bug (or several!), it would be nice to inform me. If you wish a new feature to be implemented, you can always ask me by sending me an email (you can find my email address in the manpage or on the official website).
Cheers,
Rolinh

I know I changed the options a lot with 2.1.0 release. I thought it would be better to have -t for filtering and -T for printing the file system type so someone using the original df would not be surprised.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience. There should not be any changes like this one in the future though but I thought it was needed (especially because of the unit options).

Anyway, I now cannot find any way of having colored output showing only some mounts (that aren't all the same type), without modifying the code.
Two suggestions:
1. Introduce a --color option like ls and grep (--color=WHEN, where WHEN is always,never,auto)
Ok, I'll implement this one for 2.2.0 release It'll be more like "-c always", "-c never" and "-c auto" (default) because I do not use long options but I think this would be OK, right?

Increase file system size

Hello,
I have solaris9 system where on disk c0t0d0, I have 7 partitions. The first partition shows file system mounted=yes with 10GB space. This file system is near full ( 95% used). I need to increase the size. How can I do that?
I have another partition that shows 30GB and file system mounted=no. Can I create a file system to use this 30 GB? Does it disturb existing file system?
Appreciate your help.

I agree with the guest poster a few posts up. This could be a unique opportunity to think about Bike Trials something that she would really love to do.
Instead of just looking at what's available, think first about what you really want - what would be Bike Trial Seller fulfilling and enjoyable. Is there anything creative she has always wanted to do?
If she loves being a nurse, look at other opportunities within this field that would not involve physical work.
If nursing is just a job, and Bike Store she doesn't enjoy it that much, then look at this as a pointer towards doing something different.
Start making Bike Shop brainstorming lists about all the jobs she would love to and could do - you will come up with something that she can feel excited about.

Thanks in Advance for your help..

You must have a lot of small files on the file system.
There are couple of ways, the simplest is to increase the size of the filesystem.
Or if you can create a new filesystem, but increase the inode count so you can utilize the space and still have enough inodes. Check out the man page mkfs_ufs and the option nbpi=n

Regards,

I don't know if the root partition filling up was sudden, and thus due to the killing of an in-use file, or some other problem. However, I have noticed that VAST amounts of space is used up just through the normal patching process.
After I installed Sol 10 11/06, my 12GB root partition was 48% full. Now, about 2 months later, after applying available patches, it is 53% full. That is about 600 MB being taken up by the superseded versions of the installed patches. This is ridiculous. I have patched using Sun Update Manager, which by default does not use the patchadd -d option that would not back up old patch versions, so the superseded patches are building up in /var, wasting massive amounts of space.
Are Solaris users just supposed to put up with this, or is there some other way we should manage patches? It is time consuming and dangerous to manually clean up the old patch versions by using patchrm to delete all versions of a patch and then using patchadd to re-install only the latest revision.
Thank you.

QFS don�t update File System space after a failover

When I do a fail-over (get down a master node of device QFS) while I delete a file the space on it (FS) is inconsistent (df command show mayor space than du command) and I have to do a file System Check on it to get free space.

DNFS with ASM over dNFS with file system - advantages and disadvantages.

Hello Experts,
We are creating a 2-node RAC. There will be 3-4 DBs whose instances will be across these nodes.
For storage we have 2 options - dNFS with ASM and dNFS without ASM.
The advantages of ASM are well known --
1. Easier administration for DBA, as using this 'layer', we know the storage very well.
2. automatic re-balancing and dynamic reconfiguration.
3. Stripping and mirroring (though we are not using this option in our env, external redundancy is provided at storage level).
4. Less (or no) dependency on storage admin for DB file related tasks.
5. Oracle also recommends to use ASM rather than file system storage.
Advantages of DNFS(Direct Network File System) ---
1. Oracle bypasses the OS layer, directly connects to storage.
2. Better performance as user's data need not to be loaded in OS's kernel.
3. It load balances across multiple network interfaces in a similar fashion to how ASM operates in SAN environments.
Now if we combine these 2 options , how will be that configuration in terms of administration/manageability/performance/downtime in future in case of migration.
I have collected some points.
In favor of 'NOT' HAVING ASM--
1. ASM is an extra layer on top of storage so if using dNFS ,this layer should be removed as there are no performance benefits.
2. store the data in file system rather than ASM.
3. Stripping will be provided at storage level (not very much sure about this).
4. External redundancy is being used at storage level so its better to remove ASM.
points for 'HAVING' ASM with dNFS --
1. If we remove ASM then DBA has no or very less control over storage. He can't even see how much is the free space left as physical level.
2. Stripping option is there to gain performance benefits
3. Multiplexing has benefits over mirroring when it comes to recovery.
(e.g, suppose a database is created with only 1 controlfile as external mirroring is in place at storage level , and another database is created with 2 copies (multiplexed within Oracle level), and an rm command was issued to remove that file then definitely there will be a time difference between restoring the file back.)
4. Now familiar and comfortable with ASM.
I have checked MOS also but could not come to any conclusion, Oracle says --
"Please also note that ASM is not required for using Direct NFS and NAS. ASM can be used if customers feel that ASM functionality is a value-add in their environment. " ------How to configure ASM on top of dNFS disks in 11gR2 (Doc ID 1570073.1)
Kindly advise which one I should go with. I would love to go with ASM but If this turned out to be a wrong design in future, I want to make sure it is corrected in the first place itself.
Regards,
Hemant

I agree, having ASM on NFS is going to give little benefit whilst adding complexity. NAS will carrying out mirroring and stripping through hardware where as ASM using software.
I would recommend DNFS only if NFS performance isn't acceptable as DNFS introduce an additional layer with potential bugs! When I first used DNFS in 11gR1, I came across lots of bugs and worked with Oracle Support to have them all resolved. I recommend having read of this metalink note:
Required Diagnostic for Direct NFS Issues and Recommended Patches for 11.1.0.7 Version (Doc ID 840059.1)
Most of the fixes have been rolled into 11gR2 and I'm not sure what the state of play is on 12c.
Hope this helps

Monitor free file system space in GB

Hi All,
i need to check all the FS of our database and see if they are getting to less then some GB
then get an alert.
for example my FS has 100Gb in total and because i put there some non oracle stuff (or oracle stuff, it doesnt matter) the free space there is lower than 10GB.
i want to get an alert if the free space is lower than 10GB?
i didn't find any metric that can help me with it ?
can somebody help ?

zvika

Hi ,
i tried directory size Metric but it just give me the size of the directory.
i need to check if the FS has less then threshold value in GB.
also i had some errors trying to get the metric works on directories.
File or Directory Attribute Not Found: File or Directory Name XXX
Error in computing size for: XXX
Angrydot
you are right but 10% of 100GB is not ok while 10% of 500GB is ok.
i want to set one threshold to all FS.

File system used space monitoring rule

All, I'm trying to change the way OC monitors disk space usage. I don't want it to report on nfs filesystems, except from the server from which they are shared.
The monitored attribute is FileSystemUsages.name=*.usedSpacePercentage.
I'd like it to only report on ufs and zfs filesystems. I've tried to create new rules using the attribures:
FileSystemUsages.type=ufs.usedSpacePercentage
FileSystemUsages.type=UFS.usedSpacePercentage
FileSystemUsages.type=zfs.usedSpacePercentage
FileSystemUsages.type=ZFS.usedSpacePercentage
But I don't get any alerts generated on system which I know violate the thresholds I've specified.
Has anybody successfully set up rules like these? Am I on the right track? do ufs/UFS/zfs/ZFS need to be single or double quoted? Documentation with various examples is non-existent as far as I can tell.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Tim

do you get any answers for this question? It seems like OEM12c has file system space usage monitoring setup for nfs mounted file systems, however I could not find a place to specify the threshold for those nfs mounted file sytems except root file system. does anybody know how to setup threshold of nfs mounted file systems(Netapp storage)? thank you very much

CC configuration causes freezing and file system corruption

I have received no response for:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/6074118
It is a major issue, can I file an issue/fix request somehow?
Basically it appears that the default configuration when installing the complete product suite causes the OS (OSX Mavericks) to freeze unpredictably and render the system unusable unless shut down and rebooted. This may result in file system corruption and data loss requiring complete reinstall of OS and all products.
Some have mentioned 'drive' is causing this, but I am not familiar with that component and do not see any options to remove or disable such a product in CC.
I do not want any non-essential add-ons (like Bridge?) - just a reliable production configuration so I can get work done.
The risk of having the system 'locked up' or file system corrupted is unacceptable.
Thanks,
Mike
