Question

Last Modified: Oct 22, 2006

Where do those .nfs files come from?
Answer
They're created when a process on a NFS client has an executable file open and that file gets unlinked. (deleted) In other words, don't delete files that processes are currently using.

This tends to happen with log files, where you want to pare down the log file but don't want to restart the server process creating the logs. In this case what you can do instead is use:

cat /dev/null > logfile

Where logfile is the name of the log you want to pare down.
