I am having problems with heavy hit /var partitions needed 'fsck' badly. One
got so bad that after deleting nearly 2gig of files 'df' failed to recognize
the newly acquired free space. After 'fsck' and many many repairs, it was
fine again. Is this related to lengthly uptimes and very heavy hit /var
partitions. (These machines are getting upwards of 1mill requests/day with
some requests logging to as many as 10 different logs) Performance is not an
issue, it runs smoothly, until problems such as these spring up. The 2
machines I had problems with today had 47 and 53 days of uptime. (I know
this is not much considering I have other boxes with over a year of uptime,
but these boxes run sloppy code and should be rebooted more often than
should be)

One other issue, anyone ever 'corrupt' a file system doing an 'fsck' while
mounted? I know on Solaris this is okay, you just refer to a different
device path for the 'fsck'.


These are 6.2 boxes with the latest and greatest updates.

Thanks,
CC
