How to solve inode problem in Solaris?

We have would come across lots of complain from user saying the /var is 100% even after cleaning the disk space. You need not recreate file-system or create a new partition.

I have notice lots of people just delete some files from /var to clean the disk space & make inode work normal. Even if you completely delete the files from /var you wont be able fix & work on server. To confirm just try checking for the logs or small 1kb file in tmp directory or log directory.

Here is the solution to fix the inode problem without recreating file system

inodes are nothing but the numeric number allocated to file.
When u create the file system os allocate the range of inode to that file system.

Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks
1 var wm 207 - 1213 4.89GB (1007/0/0) 10247232

Type the below command to check the inode usage by firing.
#df -F ufs -o i

Go to that location and delete those file and restart the machine
and again fire the same command
#df -F ufs -o i

Check the properties now you will see inodes are free from /var

Your inode problem is fixed without recreating file-system or create a new partition...

Increase your RAM? free of cost…Really Worth It!!!!

A Very useful tip . Please try this and use RAM efficiently. Now this is called a tip of the year! While working with the Task Manager I observed the following. You can also try it out. 1.Start any application, say Word. Open some large documents. 2.Now start the Task Manager processor tab and sort the list in descending order on Memory Usage. You will notice that Winword.exe will be somewhere at the top, using multiple MBs of memory. Note down the number. 3.Now switch to Word and simply minimise it. (Do not use the Minimize All option of the task bar). 4. Now go back to the Task Manager and see where Winword.exe is listed. Most probably you will not find it at the top. You will typically have to Scroll to the bottom of the list to find Word. Now check out the amount of RAM it is using. Compare it with the original. Surprised? The memory utilisation has reduced by a huge amount. 5.So where is the tip of the year? Simple? Minimise each application that you are currently not working on ...
