Full Discussion: Received error as Not enough space left on device
Operating Systems HP-UX Received error as Not enough space left on device Post 302879457 by Corona688 on Thursday 12th of December 2013 01:49:50 PM

I suspect the error message means what it says.

Killing processes can easily clear up disk space, because it may finish deleting any files which were deleted but held open by a program.

zerofill(1)                                                        GNU Telephony                                                       zerofill(1)

NAME

       zerofill - clear unused disk space and blank devices.

SYNOPSIS

       zerofill [options] [devices] ...

DESCRIPTION

       This command is a relative of nullfile.  Like nullfile, it can be used to write all unused disk space with '0', thereby making file systems
       that are stored on virtual machines easier to pack.  In addition, zerofill can fill unused disk space  with  random  data  before  zeroing,
       which  can be useful to remove forensic trace of deleted files.  Finally, zerofile can be told to operate on and zero (erase) complete disk
       devices.

OPTIONS

       --random=count
              Number of passes to use writing random data before wiping data.

       --help Outputs help screen for the user.
