mount / disk problem

R

rw1fnt

Hello,

We have a freebsd 5.4 Release server that acting up.

with a df -h we get the following line

Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ad4s1g 115G 103G 3.7G 97% /usr/home

If I go to /usr/home and do a ls -la
the only thing i can see is a .snap file with a 4k size.

No other information is shown.

Is there any action to still access this data?

Regards,

Rogier
 
is it possible that you have mounted some other file system on top of /usr/home?

please show the output of # mount command.
 
# mount
/dev/ad4s1a on / (ufs, local)
/devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
/dev/ad4s1g on /usr/home (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad4s1e on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad4s1f on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad4s1d on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates)
devfs on /var/named/dev (devfs, local)
procfs on /proc (procfs, local)

What is the output of du -k -d 1 /usr/home ? Any big spenders in there?
 
Looks like a mount problem, as noted. What says 'df -k' ? Are there two partitions with the exact same size in there (like /usr and /usr/home)?
 
# df -kh
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ad4s1a 7.6G 238M 6.8G 3% /
devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev
/dev/ad4s1g 115G 103G 3.7G 97% /usr/home
/dev/ad4s1e 248M 62M 166M 27% /tmp

Problem Solved!

The problem was overmounting.
did a
umount /dev/ad4s1g
mount /usr/home

In the /etc/fstab put the line that mentions /usr/home after the line that mentions /usr and reboot does the trick as well and permanently.

Thank's for the replies!
 
Argh! Slapping myself for not seeing that the first time. Been bitten by that mount order a few times myself (/var and /var/log ..).
