Root space filling up

Hi
I got a problem with my Sun E450 server. Actually the root is filling up the space. After investigation was made, i realize that the /var/tmp seems to have a file that is so large. So, i moved the file to another location to free up the space in. Just wondering:
1. Is it normal that a Sun to have such a temporary file with that size?
2. How was this file created? Is it by users doing transactions which created the temp file, or could it be other main reason?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

This would probablly be better answered in the OS forums, but look at things like:
1. user processes
2. patch /package files
3. etc

Reading in a space filled file

I am reading in a file which is in byte format and each record is 50 chars wide and space-filled. If an element is not present in the file, then it is just space filled.
Example input.prn file:
Bob �� Smith��12 North Rd��Denver��CO��USA��12435
John �� Williams��123 State St��New York��NY��12435
Notice in the second record, that John Williams does not have a country. It is just space-filled (50 chars).
So I need to read in this file, and send it to a constructor in this format:
Bob,Smith,12 North Rd,Denver,CO,USA,12435
John,Williams,123 State St,New York,NY,,12435
in the second record where there was no country, a "," needs to be in it's place.
       BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("input.prn"));
       String line = " ";
       // the delim needs to be space filled somehow
           while((line = br.readLine()) != null)
                StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(line,delim);
           }I'm not sure how to approach this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thank you

            while ((len = br.read(data, 0, data.length)) != -1 ) {
                //You do now have len characters available in the data.
                 line = new String(data, 0, data.length);
                 String firstName = line.substring(0,10) + ",";
                 String lastName = line.substring(10,27) + ",";
                 String startDate = line.substring(27,35) + ",";
                 String address1 = line.substring(35,45) + ",";
                 String address2 = line.substring(45,55) + ",";
                 String city = line.substring(55,65) + ",";
                 String state = line.substring(65,67) + ",";
                 String country = line.substring(67,70) + ",";
                 String zip = line.substring(70,80);
                 String record = firstName+lastName+startDate+address1+address2+city
                                          +state+country+zip;
                                              System.out.println(record.toString());
                                  }If I add the + "," onto the String values to output comma-seperated values, the results for the second record appear incorrectly as below:
Bob ,Smith ,20051018,12 North Rd ,Apt 1 ,Miami ,FL,usa,87782
Tom
Jon,es 200,307308 S,tate St Apt, 12 Boi,se IDu,sa,112,35
Tom
The output for the first record of Bob Smith is absolutely correct, but the record for Tom Jones is not. All of the commas are misplaced.

Message Mapping using Left justified, right blank/space filled

Hi,
My Interface is outbound Interface.
Suppose source field named 'Filename' is mapped with Target field named 'Filename'.Condition is AS IS(Left justified, right blank/space filled).
How should i do this mapping?

Hi Sanghamitra Duttagupta,
                                            you can try this UDF below
public static String fieldJustified(String s)
          try
               final int fieldLength=20;
               char filler=' ';
               s=s.trim();
               int l=s.length();
               while(l<fieldLength)
                    s=s+filler;
                    l++;
          catch(Exception e)
               return s;
          return s;
Please reset the value of the variable "fieldLength", in code above to the field length as per your need. The right side will be filled with extra spaces since value of "filler" variable is ' '. you can set this to any character of your choice so that total field length is equal to value of variable "fieldLength" (which is 20 here).
so if input is "        hi"
output           "hi                  "
regards

Hi, will my downloadable PDF forms look exactly the same as when I upload but with spaces filled in?

Hi, will my downloadable PDF forms look exactly the same as when I upload but with spaces filled in?

Not sure I understand the question. Are you talking about the "Download Response as PDF" feature (to see the PDF filled out with the filler's data) or the "Download Submission Enabled PDF" (to sent to people to fill out)?
If you imported a PDF in FormsCentral, the Submission Enabled PDF will look exactly the same as the imported PDF plus a submit button
If you designed the form in FormsCentral and save the Submission Enabled PDF it will look very similar to the web form (switch the view in the Design Tab to Page View to see what the PDF will look like)
The PDF doesn't use skip logic or show/hide logic so this mean that the PDF always shows all the form elements
I answered a similar question today. See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1251981

JVM - Survivor Space fills up to max

We have run into an issue, where the survivor space fills up to the max pretty quickly, and things start running very slowly as the day progresses.
We are using jdk1.6.0_16, and here's the JVM parameters the server runs with:
-Xms12g -Xmx50g -XX:MaxNewSize=8g -XX:NewSize=4g -XX:SurvivorRatio=6 -XX:MaxPermSize=128M
Here's how it looked like at one point:

I'm not really sure if it's the survivor space that's causing the slowness or nor, but if so, what should I set it to, to get better performance? Or, can I just get rid of it, and let the system handle it.
Any assistance/insight would be very much appreciated.

Profiling the application with data that represents real traffic is the way to determine performance bottlenecks.
If memory is actually an issue then reducing it will make the error occur more quickly, but again one should do that while profiling.

Finding out how much root space does each app take...

Hello! I was wondering if there is a way to find out how much root space does each installed app take, like a X-terminal command or something? Just want to figure out if i have some "non-optified" programmes (I believe this is the right term, but could very well be wrong) Cheers
Solved!

Wow.. MC is a freaking space hog! 5meg of root space
libmagic is interesting.. not sure what needs that.. it's used by software to tell what file type a file is.. it can look at a jpeg, for example and tell you it is a jpg.. clever stuff really (it doesn't use the file extension like windows) so I assume this is possibly midnight commander too..
Out of all the extra packets you've installed, they're using 19,184,792 bytes of root space.. 18meg..
5meg is midnight commander, 3 meg is QT3 support (not sure why you have that) and another 1.3meg is libmagic and 2 meg is some Python stuff..
Killing off midnight commander would free some space... (why this isn't on /opt, I don't know) but realistically you've not used too much.. you should be fine!
---edit---
I finished re-reading your post, not just the log file.. HA!! The funny thing is, doing this command line stuff is second nature to me.. I frequently do it in my sleep The N900 is therefore the ideal phone for someone of this disposition.. I need to find out blah statistics.. erm.. COMMAND LINE
If you want to wander down such a particularly perverse path, I'm happy to help out and newbieness is always forgiven
But it just shows what you can get away with using nothing more than litterally a few command line commands! pretty neat really!

Really bizzare root "/" space usage issue....

I'll start by apologizing in advance....
Now that I have done that I can hopefully proceed without ticking off anyone...
I have Arch 0.7 installed and Kde which I just downloaded and installed last night. Everything is running well, no issues there.
My issue is with the space taken up by root "/". During the partitioning process I had assigned it a generous ( I thought ) 1GB. /Var has 7Gb, /usr has 9Gb, the swap is 734MB and /home is 30Gb. So far so good.
For some strange reason when I run hwd -y the usage indicator for root "/" is 65% used. That strikes me as a hell of a lot of space for root to use, especially if just Arch and KDE are on the system, at least I would think so.
I have had a wonderful time looking through the wiki and googleing over this issue and learned a lot of new and interesting things, but not why this is happening. :x
du and df have helped a bit and /var/log has about 30 MB of log messages
so it is not there. /tmp has virtually no usage 1 MB total or so.
I have also done pacman -Scc as well, however I am still at 65% usage.
Now it is entirely possible that I don't fully understand WHAT this truly means, but I do know I don't want to fill up the root filesystem. Should I e ven be worried?
Any assistance, ideas, RTFM comments are welcome...

proc does not report space properly with du. As many of the things in proc are virtual...It is possible that hwd -y is improperly reporting it..dunno.
try "df -h" to get a better result.
EDIT: Good point dusty, might be /opt being a problem too.

Why is my iPad storage space filling up when transferring purchases to iTunes?

Hi there,
Hopefully somebody can help.
I recently bought an iPad & it's been great, but I noticed when I was Transferring my purchases from my Pad to my Mac, my iPads disk space starting filling up under the 'Other' catagory.
Why is it doing it? Surely it shouldn't be putting anything on to my Pad?
Now my storage space is almost full, but I have nothing on my iPad that wasn't there before.
Thanks for your time.
Paul

Okay, first thing is to look at all your iTunest tab settings like music, movies, podcasts, etc... to make sure you don't have it set to automatically download new content onto the iPad. If so, anything you've purchased on your computer will then turn around and try to load itself onto your iPad.
The next thing would be to do a restore to factory settings and then re-sync using your most recent backup, assuming you have a good backup. Once in a blue moon the data on the iPad can get corrupt somehow and give all kinds of false readings on how much memory is being used, etc... The restore usually fixes it.
Best.

Root partition filling up over time

I am running Sol 10 11/06 on a Sun Blade. I installed Sol 10 from DVD a few months ago, making my / partition 12GB in size. /var is not a separate partition. Sun Studio 11 was also installed. I have installed all available patches using Sun Update Manager. Since installation, my / partition has filled up with more than 860 MB of data, none of it from me. I assume that all that space is being used up by superseded versions of installed patches. Does this seem normal? Am I supposed to put up with this until the disk fills up with old, unused patches? /var/adm is ok in terms of the wtmpx file being small (678k). /tmp is clean. I shutdown the computer whenever I am not using it, so MANY reboots have occurred. Here is my df -h:
df -h
Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 12G 6.3G 5.4G 55% /
/devices 0K 0K 0K 0% /devices

proc 0K 0K 0K 0% /proc
mnttab 0K 0K 0K 0% /etc/mnttab
swap 5.2G 1016K 5.2G 1% /etc/svc/volatile
objfs 0K 0K 0K 0% /system/object

swap 5.2G 1.6M 5.2G 1% /tmp

/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7 1.9G 687M 1.2G 36% /export/home
Is there somewhere else I should look for large log/error files, or is the space usage on / normal? Should I back out all the unused patches (I am very, very reluctant to waste time on that)?
Thank you.......

Thank you, Paul. I agree with your thought that we will have to live with the space taken up by superseded patches. I ran the du command listed above:

The above is in 1024 byte blocks. The above isn't the whole listing, but what sticks out is all the space for the java-related j2se/jre/jdk/j5dev patches. I'm sure those take up 100s of megs. The /var/sadm/pkg looks awful big. Can you see anything else in there that looks out of whack?

Filesystem space filling up

Hello, I am running a batch job of database select queries and I see the filesystem is filling up quickly although this script is not generating any files in the diretcory it is running. What else could be filling up? I am not able to trace.

It depends on the database you are running and how it is installed (I'm guessing on FS)
But usually, all queries that need temporary space (like sort, agregate, group by, etc...) will use temporary space in the db which is reflecting on the FS.

TS1503 Why do I have so much "other" space filled up and how do I get rid of it?

When I plug my phone into my computer my "other" field is taking up 9.3 GB of my space on my phone. How do I get rid of it?! And, what is it even??

This indicates corrupt files. A restore should resolve.

Erase free space filled my free space..help !

I used DU erase free space on 'zero data option'
I had 50/50% free /used space on 80 Gb int HD
after that I had no free space ...
I started from OSX disc, ran DU, repair disk, which fixed 2 issues but
left 'Invalid leaf record' 'should be 13 not 2001'
Last line ... '1 HFS volumne repaired'
'1 volumne could not be repaired'
This HD was NOT partioned..
I guess DU wrote in my free space but didn't record that fact correctly ?
It's running but slow slow
Any idea what to do ?
Thanks

Do you have a full backup of your system and data? If not back up as much as you can, if you can. After that that, I would stop using it.
You need to free up space on your hard drive to allow it run properly. Then it may be able to be repaired. But I wouldn't want to try without knowing how backed up you are, or not.
Let us know.

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.

Mail logs filling up disk space: why? ok to delete?

Computer spec’s: 2GHz Mac Mini with 4GB of RAM and a 250GB flash storage. I am running OS 10.9.5 and Mail 7.3.
Problem: My storage has been mysteriously filling up, with about 200 GB in “other” in “about this Mac.” I would delete files and then it would fill up again. Using WhatSize, I determined that Mail logs took up 107GB, with two files accounting for most of this (details below).
Questions: Is it safe to delete Mail logs? Why are some so big? Why are dates so random? Can I prevent large mail logs in the future?
In Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Logs, here are the dates and size of the largest files named in format: [long stream of numbers and letters]=imap.gmail.com.txt
July 15: 55.8 GB
Sept 3: 47.17 GB
Aug 6: 5.43 GB
Aug 6 3.64 GB
Then there are six files between 312GB and 867.2 GB and many others named in the above format and multiple files named in this format: [date]_GmailDelete.log dating back to May 21.
Thank you for your help.

Hi, I'm having a very similar trouble but I do not use Gmail. I have several mail accounts, essentially from 2 mail server providers (hosting and registrar companies), most accounts in IMAP but some still in POP.
I'm on a PowerBook pro, retina 15 mid 2012, 2.7 Ghz Intel Core i7, with 750 Gb SSD disk", running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
Since one week I experience the same problem, disk space filling up without appearant reasons. In the Data/Library/Logs/Mail I have 541 files (!!), some of them very huge. I have deleted a 75 Gb file and another of 13Gb, but I still have files from more than 9Gb (ten file obver 1Gb).
I have changed passwords in my accounts and even to access my hosting proividers. But no changes.
Deleting the huge files in the Logs doesn't seem to affect Mails except the fact that I have to enter all POP / IMAP and SMTP passwords :-(
In the logs, the hugest files are "2015-03-18_IMAPMailboxSyncEngine.log", 2mail.mydomainname-d44f367b-6650-4ddf-9cc6-4fe08822ab6c.txt", "2015-03-21_SocketStreamEvents.log", "137778C8-7690-48F3-877E-48D400322117-mail.mydomainename.txt", and I have plenty like that.
The question is, where the problemn comes from ??
When deleting the log files ... the problem is not solved because it continues to filling it with new logs, again ..
Thank you for your assistance and help.
