Can you provide us the output from a df command for a starter. Are you sure, for instance, that /filesystem was mounted? It could be that you filled the root filesystem by mistake.
Some OS will create /tmp from memory (and therefore paging/swap space) If you were writing to the wrong place, then this is another option, and when the machine re-starts, /tmp will be empty.
There's not much else to go on. Perhaps don't run them in parallel. Maybe memory got exhausted by the processing load.
Might I guess that this is AIX even?

local-filesystems
local-filesystems(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual local-filesystems(7)
NAME
local-filesystems - event signalling that local filesystems have been mounted
SYNOPSIS
local-filesystems [ENV]...
DESCRIPTION
The local-filesystems event is generated by the mountall(8) daemon after it has mounted all local filesystems listed in fstab(5). moun-
tall(8) emits this event as an informational signal, services and tasks started or stopped by this event will do so in parallel with other
activity.
This event is typically used by services that must be started in order for remote filesystems, if any, to be activated. Remember that some
users may not consider it wrong to place /usr on a remote filesystem. For most normal services the filesystem(7) event is sufficient.
This event will never occur before the virtual-filesystems(7) event.
EXAMPLE
A service that wishes to be running once local filesystems are mounted might use:
start on local-filesystems
