Dunno. Try taking a look at the script "make_recovery" and see what it's doing and where it tries to put stuff.

NOTE TO MODERATORS: Although the OP has posted this in dummies it's not such a dumb question. Can we move the thread to HP-UX please where the right guys will see it. Thanks.

If it is /var/temp directory you need to know what filesystem that is on. Are any of your filesystems filling up? Of course, if it's an old system with small drives and you are trying to create a full system image, I guess that could be a problem. Try running it again and from another terminal run

Code:

df -v

repeatedly and see if a filesystem hits the top when you get the error.

mkdevalloc

mkdevalloc(1M)						  System Administration Commands					    mkdevalloc(1M)

NAME

       mkdevalloc - Make device_allocate entries

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/mkdevalloc

DESCRIPTION

       The mkdevalloc command writes to standard out a set of device_allocate(4) entries describing the system's frame buffer, audio and removable
       media devices.

       The mkdevalloc command is used by the init.d(4) scripts to create or update the /etc/security/device_allocate file.

       Entries are generated based on the device special files found in /dev. For the different categories  of	devices,  the  mkdevalloc  command
       checks for the following files under /dev:

	 audio		 /dev/audio, /dev/audioctl, /dev/sound/...
	 tape		 /dev/rst*, /dev/nrst*, /dev/rmt/...
	 floppy 	 /dev/diskette, /dev/fd*, /dev/rdiskette, /dev/rfd*
	 removable disk  /dev/sr*, /dev/nsr*, /dev/dsk/c0t?d0s?, /dev/rdsk/c0t?d0s?
	 frame buffer	 /dev/fb

       All  entries  set  the  device-minimum  and device-maximum fields to the hex representations of ADMIN_LOW and ADMIN_HIGH, respectively. The
       device-authorization field is set to solaris.device.allocate, except for the framebuffer entry, where it is  set  to  *.  The  device-name,
       device-type and device-clean fields are set to the following values:

			 device-name	  device-type	device-clean

	 audio		 audio		  audio 	audio_clean_wrapper
	 tape		 mag_tape_0,1,... st		st_clean
	 floppy 	 floppy_0,1,...   fd		disk_clean
	 removable disk  cdrom_0,1,...	  sr		disk_clean
	 frame buffer	 framebuffer	  fb		/bin/true
