Hello everyone,

The problem is solved after shutdown the system and boot again. That file name is the same name as one of device names. During booting, the system rebuilt the device with that kind name and the problem is solved too.

I would like to thank Trey Valenta (trey@zipcon.net) who gave a quick reply and kind suggestion.

Also thanks for the following people for help,

baerlap!mk@namib.north.de
richard.schulting@idsys.nl
pizzinato@eumetsat.de
ejones1@nr.infi.net
cmarble@orion.ac.hmc.edu

They suggested to reduce the file size by 'cat /dev/null > /dev/rmt0.1' and find a way to let the system rebuild the device.

Thanks again!

>Hello everyone,

>I am not sure if it is proper to post this kind question here.

>We have an IBM RS/6000 workstation running AIX 4.1.4. Now the system is full due to a large file (rmt0.1, 70MB) in the directory of /dev created during backing up file systems by mistake. Now we connot delete or remove this file. When we try to remove it by typing

> #mv /dev/rmt0.1 /usr/opt

>the error message is

> /bin/ksh: There is not enough space in the file system
> mv: 0653-401 Connot rename rmt0.1 to /usr/opt/rmt0.1
> A file or directory in the path name does not exist.

>Does anyone know how to delete this file or solve this file system full problem?

>Thanks very much!
