Earlier problem only used to occur after the backup was complete .

Currently i am not backing up the server but the /tmp is becoming full and when we are running the many processes on the server it use to throw the error like :

fork not enough space ..

the RAM size of my server is 8Gb and the swap space is 15 GB with this .

I guess it was due to less memory and more processes running at a time however now even i have killed several processes still /tmp space is not getting released to server .

NAME
cdsd - Starts the CDS server SYNOPSIS
cdsd [-a] [-D] [-l principal] [-w route] ARGUMENTS
Creates a new namespace if there is not an existing namespace. This flag is meaningful only when the cell is first configured (that is, the initial creation of the namespace). For debugging use only. Causes the cdsd process not to fork. Locksmith mode. Allows the principal specified to have full access to all information stored with this server. Routes serviceability messages. DESCRIPTION
The cdsd command starts the CDS server. Privilege Required You must log in as superuser (root). NOTES
This command is ordinarily executed by a DCE configuration or startup script. You should use this command interactively only when a cdsd fails to start automatically after a reboot, or if you want to restart a cdsd after disabling it to perform a backup or to do diagnostic work on the host system. EXAMPLE
To restart a cdsd server, follow these steps: Log in to the server system as superuser (root). Verify that the dced and cdsadv processes are running. Enter the following command to restart the CDS server: # cdsd When the server process starts, it starts all clearinghouses on the system. RELATED INFORMATION
