Need to find a large file

[npolite]

Hello,

I need some help with finding a large temp file. I know that this is being caused either by Oracle Reports of Oracle BI. I have 82GB filled in the /opt directory but when I run a du -h or a du -ha it only shows 17GB total in opt. Can someone let me know what other command I can use to find what file is chewing up the rest of the directory?

Thanks,
Nick

Found the issue using lsof | fgrep \(deleted\)

I restarted the application at fault so I know at least what caused it.

You need to figure out what other directories are in that mount besides /opt. It could be that /tmp or some is in the same file system.

You can use find to search for files over a certain size:

find /opt -size +{size_in_kb}k -exec ls -lh {} \;

Just replace {size_in_kb} with some large value (1000000 for 1 GB).
