Hey ya'll, Was hoping someone could shed some light on this... I have an installation of OpenSolaris (snv_101b), and I keep noticing that my / partition is full. I discovered that /var/fm/fmd was filling it up with ~100GB of core.fmd.* files. I can delete them easily enough, but sure enough, they come back after a few days.
I see this: # svcs -xv svc:/system/intrd:default (interrupt balancer) State: maintenance since Sun Sep 13 19:14:36 2009 Reason: Restarting too quickly.

I see nothing in /var/adm/messages referencing fmd, but I do see this entry for intrd: Sep 13 19:14:36 myserver svc.startd[7]: [ID 748625 daemon.error] system/intrd:default failed repeatedly: transitioned to maintenance (see 'svcs -xv' for details) Does anyone have an idea of where I should look next? intrd and fmd services are not online, and I can't seem to bring them up. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
