Rather than getting him trapped in an editor, I would just more the file, which also works similar to a Windows cmd shell.

Since / has room, but /usr doesn't, I had it drop the text file in / cd / ls DiskUse.txt I'm not sure if pico or vi are installed with that cacti VM, but the syntax to look through the file while keeping it on disk would just be vi /DiskUse.txt or pico /DiskUse.txt On 3/4/08 1:21 PM, "Sam Cayze" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Cacti won't start, so I can't do any log management from that GUI.

Sam, >From what you posted, this is something in /usr (probably /usr/home/someaccountname). Run the following in order cd /usr du -h > /DiskUse.txt Then copy off DiskUse.txt for review somewhere else. You've got plenty of TMP space, and any logs in /var are fine as well. I expect you've got a lot of old reports buried under /usr. If Cacti allows you to delete old reports from it's interface, attack it that way, otherwise, SCP or FTP them off. I don't suggest rm'ing them, just in case Cacti freaks out over stuff disappearing. On 3/4/08 12:20 PM, "Sam Cayze" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Salvador to the rescue! Thanks! Alright, I can SSH into it, and I am at the [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# prompt. Here is my output. Yep, I look pretty full! So - I guess I will have to play around and find some stuff to delete. Do you know any obvious locations for temp files in BSD? Do you know of any good BSD training resources to get me familiar with file system commands in BSD? Sounds like now is a great time to make some use of VMware snapshot feature!

Sam, Assuming the Cacti appliance doesn't offer the ability to age out old log files, can you SSH into it? A df -h will show you usage on the different mount points, and a du -h redirected to a text file will give you the exact layout (starting from wherever you launch it, recursive by default) On 3/4/08 11:38 AM, "Sam Cayze" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hey all, I have a VM Appliance I installed about 2 years ago that runs Cacti, and does all the cute little RDP graphs for my server utilization, server room temp monitors, disk space, etc. http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/310 It runs on BSD6.1 and is supposed to be a set and forget appliance. However, it is failing, and I suspect it just might have something to do with this error when I fire it up "Filesystem Full" Does anybody run BSD that might be able to give me a hand?
