Witness ContactStore - 100% occupied "/" partition

[petran]

Hello everyone,

I have recently installed a new Witness ContactStore system with a 145GB hard disk. We are monitoring 30 agents using G.729. Initial tests were OK. The "/calls" & "/var" partitions are OK. From the moment we started using the system we noticed that the "/" partition fills up very quickly (within 24 hours). A reboot drops the occupied space on this partition from 100% to 75%.

Does anybody know how the system uses the "/" partition ? I have searched every document available on the Avaya support site but found nothing specific on this..

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,


Petran.

petran,

i don't know witness's partition layout thorough but it seems that /tmp is not a separate partition but runs on root instead. reduced usage after reboot suggests that it's /tmp because many systems empty it upon reboot. to be sure, issue a "du -h -d 1 /" command (as root) immediately after reboot and save its output somewhere, and after root partition is filled up to its capacity issue this command again and compare results to previous. that way you'll see exactly what directory is being filled up. after you determine it, you can start hunting the process that fills it up. or alternatively (if that's /tmp as i strongly suspect) you can create a separate partition for that directory and mount it there. voila, it may fill up all the time but won't affect the whole system.
