Hi,
I have RHEL 5 and I can see that my / filesystem is getting filled up.
Upon digging into the file system I can see that there is a*vmcore-incomplete
*file eating up 2.8 GB of space.
[root at linuxserv /]# cd /var/crash/2008-10-29-10\:28/
[root at linuxserv 2008-10-29-10:28]# ls -ltr
total 2790788
-r-------- 1 root root 3058216960 Oct 29 10:29 *vmcore-incomplete*
[root at linuxserv 2008-10-29-10:28]# df -h /
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda7 7.7G 6.1G 1.3G 84% /
Can I remove this file. Actually this file was created when my Machine
crashed last year.
If I remove this file and reboot my machine will Linux come up normally or
will it fail.
Any help here is much appreciated.
Ram
