Hi All,
I'm getting this error when I use "pg".

/tmp is not full and the permission is correct.

root@axappk01::/home> hostname|pg
pg: 0652-122 Cannot write to the temporary file.

Please advise.

Does "more" complain about the same? How large is that file you want to read?

Zaxxon,
The file size is 1MB;
root@axappk01::/test_tmp> du -m /var/adm/ras/errlog
1.00 /var/adm/ras/errlog

root@axappk01::/test_tmp> errpt | pg
pg: 0652-122 Cannot write to the temporary file.
root@axappk01::/test_tmp>
root@axappk01::/test_tmp> errpt | more

Might be no big help but start using "more" maybe hehe, sorry. No idea where pg tries to write to. Is the problem solved so far or do you insist on using pg?

This usually indicates that a file system is in fact full. Especially as you are root. I assume you have done a df and found no full file systems? Perhaps list the df output here.

I have had this issue before where tmp is not full before you try pg, but in the process it fills up and then when you cancel the command or it cancels itself /tmp goes back to its previous state. I would try adding more space to /tmp and see if the corrects the problem.

Hello,
I was also not able to use vi, and when I tried to telnet to the lpar, I received this error;
"cannot write to /var/adm/wtmp", but I managed to login.

I was not able to write to wtmp, and from errpt, I found these errors;
"Filesystem corrupted", "Filesystem recovery is needed" and the filesize for var/adm/wtmp was not increasing.

I ran an fsck test (online) on /var and it shows some inode errors that need to be fixed.

What I did was I ran fsck in maintenance mode (offline) by booting up from mksysb tape.

As of this morning, it looks okay

Thanks everyone!
