This ptf contains the fix to correct the problem. Symptom -------- The runacct script returns with an error that it can't determine the FS type on the primary hard drive when it is trying to determine the space available in /var. SOLUTION SPECIFICS ------------------ General Description. ------------------- To determine the usage of /var, the script was using devnm utility. It used to derive device name and was doing df on that device. It was not using fstype. The fix done is to do df directly on /var instead of df'ing on devnm of /var.
