Hello, the secondary node in one of our HA pairs has seemed to have no capacity left on it.

Filesystem  1K-blocks   Used  Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/md0c      152494 152454  -3008   102%    /
devfs               1      1      0   100%    /dev
procfs              4      4      0   100%    /proc
/dev/ad0s1a    231774  64678 148556    30%    /flash

I'm a bit confused as to how this has happened?? Can anyone shed any light on it for me? also what I can do to resolve it?

The primary node is fine, but this secondary one isn't accepting any config changes and isn't showing a "full" ns.conf file.

Thanks.

Adam

So the bad sectors made it show the wrong capacity?  Interesting

Hey!!   I am having the same problem as yours.
remember my problem about Netscaler hard disk crash on this link?
http://www.netscalerkb.com/netscaler_qa/netscaler_hard_drive_error_booting_problem_please_help_thanks-t616.0.html

Now I have got the RMA's unit back,
But there is still same problem!! Arrrgh
It won't accept any configuration, license or any thing!!...
I dump the ns.conf ( lots of configurations that worked with other box before)
after reboot, everything is the same!!  always 192.168.100.1 default factory setting
I go to shell and run df -k command
it show like this
