LPDFD JunOS 9.4R1.8 process - what is it?

This process has overflowed /mfs file system with log files /mfs/var/lpdfd/log.00000000xx.

Hi AlexK,

 LPDFD is an internal JUNOS module that controls (mostly) VOIP resources in the system and I'm not 100% sure at this point why your logfiles did not rotate.

 I'd suggest to open a case with JTAC and have it analyzed.

 Cheers,

 Erdem

Hi,

this looks like matching PR 427488 (internal PR), which got fixed in following JUNOS releases:  9.4R3,  9.5R1, 9.6R1 and higher

Hi,

What will be the temporarily solution for this? Do we need to delete some files if we will not upgrade to a higher SW version? What will be the impact if we did not delete any file and the /mfs remains 100%?

thanks
