Hi, I am having some problems with my system disk, I have cleared out .log files and have got it back to 1% free but my nodes keep crashing.
I have a Alpha 4100 server with 20 nodes attached.
I have in the passed reset a system file which I am sure took up a lot of space but I can not recall what files I can either reset or delete.
I have noticed a large number of .ps and .tif files.
Anyone have any ideas how I can free up some space on my system disk.
You will have to deceide about the .ps and .tif files as they are not needed by VMS.
Look at system log files such as
SYS$MANAGER:ACCOUNTNG.DAT, SECURITY.AUDIT$JOURNAL, OPERATOR.LOG as these can become large if you are not creating new versions.
Correct, this file is almost 2 million blocks. After searching the web I picked up a few ideas and did the following
$set accounting/disable
$delete accountng.dat;5
$set accounting/enable
This created an empty accountng.dat file and got my 1% back to 41% free
