Redhat Admin Newbie, Any help would be appreciated: We’re
Running Redhat 9 1) A colleague
of mine intended on doing a backup and by accident re-directed the output to /dev/rt0
(a file) instead of st0….eventually people complained they couldn’t
print, etc….It turns out that it filled up the file system…..before
we found this out, we had rebooted and did a fschk (not knowing the real
problem yet)…Anyway,eventually deleted the rt0
file……but… Xwindows wouldn’t come up (Couldn’t
open the /dev/ device)…, Networking stopped working…I couldn’t
access the tape drive or cdrom anymore (/dev/st0, /dev/hdc) even though they
existed in the dev directory…..I went into rescue mode and at least made
a backup etc….How can I fix the /dev directory and/or anything else that
may have went south by the file system getting full without re-installing
Redhat…(Again, I’m not a hard core Redhat Admin)…. Thanks, al |
