Root Partition Full

NickoKristian — Sun, 12 Jan 2025 01:35:20 GMT

Hi All,

I am trying to clear root partition on our passive FW.

It was suggested in one of the articles(https://knowledgebase.paloaltonetworks.com/KCSArticleDetail?id=kA10g000000ClaJCAS)that we can try to delete Core Files.

But Im kind of hesitant since its core and might be service impacting.

Any one here can tell me which files can i delete on core files that would not be service impacting?

We have a off prod PA that I have tried to run the commands.

***BELOW IS THE OFF PROD PA**

Hi @NickoKristian ,

Please follow the instructions to clean the partition in kb article, removing the core files will not have service impact.
