/usr/sap/sid is 100% full

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have deleted .old log files from /usr/sap/sid/DV*/work folder.

Also deleted core file from /usr/sap/sid/DV*/j2ee/configtool.

Now the /usr/sap/sid is 78%

Can you please know what is the significance of core file mentioned above.

Regards,

Shilpa.

if you believe that you will never use the contents of core file, you can use one of those tricks to eliminate those huge core files:

TRICK #1:

ln -s /usr/sap/sid/DVEBMGS00/work/core /dev/null

ln -s /usr/sap/sid/DV00/j2ee/configtool/core /dev/null

TRICK #2:

chmod 000 /usr/sap/sid/DVEBMGS00/work/core

chmod 000 /usr/sap/sid/DV00/j2ee/configtool/core

Good luck.

Core files usually contain data taken from a memory dump at the time of an event that caused a service or process to terminate from a program error. Unless the time stamp on the files is recent and you are still having problems for which you would like to resolve using such dumps, I'd say you can safely delete them.
