user11@:/$
-ksh: line 3: write to 1 failed [No space left on device]
user1@:/$
-ksh: line 3: write to 1 failed [No space left on device]
user1@:/$
-ksh: line 3: write to 1 failed [No space left on device]
user1@:/$
-ksh: line 3: write to 1 failed [No space left on device]

But theres plenty of space :-

Code:

So what is line 3 of the script?

Is it definitely trying to write locally or to some remote volume?

You can also run out of inodes rather than disk space but I would expect the error to be different.

More info please.

Sorry - there is no script. I thought that at first.

This is just hitting return at the command line..... Weird thing is it seems a bit intermittent too.

Hmm, inodes?

You might think the error is from a command line but, if you are on the system console, it's just the OS reporting an error. Is another user on the system running the script?

The device with no space left might be any device on the system (eg, a USB stick) or simply a scripting syntax error. Until we know more we cannot say.

Hi,

Have you checked for snapshots? Try:-

Code:
zfs list -t snapshot

/tmp seems awfully small in the output above.

Is this machine under heavy load memory wise ?

Please post the output of :
Code:
echo "::memstat" | mdb -k

Check dmesg for unable to fork errors perhaps..

Also the exact version of Solaris :
Code:
pkg info entire
