RE: BSD?
i386 = 32-bit, AMD64=64-bit. Last time I installed 64-bit FreeBSD, I had some issues with app compatibility and ended up reinstalling with the i386 version. That was a few years ago though, it may be better now.

Re: BSD?
I'm fairly proficient in FreeBSD, and like it a lot. The AMD64 version is indeed good for advanced Intel multi-core chips, though I haven't implemented it yet - haven't been allowed a machine that good yet. OpenBSD is my next target platform, though - I figure between the two I'll have most situations covered, as FreeBSD is all about productivity, and OpenBSD is all about security.

RE: BSD Filesystem Full?
What BSD? I'm going to guess it's FreeBSD. Do you know how to log into it via command line? If so, log on and do: df -h That should show you all your file systems (partitions) and how full they are. I'm not familiar with Cacti, but I would imagine it would show you this. Also, it doesn't mention the file system that's full on startup? Feel free to email me off-list if you want.

RE: BSD Filesystem Full?
Logs will often live somewhere in here: /dev/ad0s1e248M 12K228M 0%/tmp Or in here: /dev/ad0s1d629M 28M551M 5%/var You can do a pwd command to see where you are at in the file structure. You can do a cd /path here to navigate to the folder you want to inspect You can do a ls -alt to view a list of the folder contents sorted by time, that includes all files. If the list is too long and you can't scroll back to the top, do ls -alt | more To delete a file, it's typically rm filename From: Sam Cayze [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2008 2:20 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: BSD Filesystem Full?

Re: BSD Filesystem Full?
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. You¹ve got plenty of TMP space, and any logs in /var are fine as well. I expect you¹ve got a lot of old reports buried under /usr. If Cacti allows you to delete old reports from it¹s interface, attack it that way, otherwise, SCP or FTP them off. I don¹t suggest rm¹ing them, just in case Cacti freaks out over stuff disappearing.

RE: BSD Filesystem Full?
This should be pretty safe to delete, right? /usr/opt/mysql/var/cacti04.corp.rollouts.com.err (70MB) /usr/opt/apache/htdocs/cacti/log/cacti.log (300MB) - I looked at this one, nothing special except log. Consider it gone. From: Mike Gill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2008 3:28 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: BSD Filesystem Full? Heh, don't worry about the shell used just yet. J I saw the other reply, now go into /usr and do du -sh ./* This will show you how large the folders are and you will recognize where to start looking to see what is eating the space. If you find one large folder, then cd into that and run the command again. You should find where the space is going pretty quick. -- Mike Gill From: Sam Cayze [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2008 12:26 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: BSD Filesystem Full? Thanks to you too Mike, yep, it's FreeBSD 6.1 I have been able to SSH into it. Now I just need to dust of my brain and remember how to work in this OS environment (is this BASH?) From: Mike Gill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2008 2:18 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: BSD Filesystem Full? What BSD? I'm going to guess it's FreeBSD. Do you know how to log into it via command line? If so, log on and do: df -h That should show you all your file systems (partitions) and how full they are. I'm not familiar with Cacti, but I would imagine it would show you this. Also, it doesn't mention the file system that's full on startup? Feel free to email me off-list if you want. I have a couple meetings today though so my availability might not be great. -- Mike Gill From: Sam Cayze [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2008 11:39 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: BSD Filesystem Full? 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?

RE: BSD Filesystem Full?
Rather than getting him trapped in an editor, I would just more the file, which also works similar to a Windows cmd shell. -- Mike Gill From: Salvador Manzo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2008 1:27 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: BSD Filesystem Full? :) that's what the / in the name was for. 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. So, I ran the dump that creates DiskUse.txt, but where does it get saved?

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.

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.
