Error Message

Hi everyone,

Can anyone explain what the following error refers to...and perhaps a solution?


vxfs: vx_nospace -/tmp file system full (8 block extent)


Thanks,
Uni

Your Veritas file system for /tmp is full - no more space left. This could possibly (probably) hang your system unless you fix it.

If you are not the administrator - then contact that person.
If you are the admin - well, it looks like you have some learning to do since you didn't know about vxfs and a full file system.

Some links that could possibly help -

Veritas Support (click on the knowledge base search).

Post what OS and version you are running (along with Veritas version) and maybe someone can give more info.

Check with your boss - see if you have a contract with your vendor or Veritas.

Since it's /tmp that is full, you can cd /tmp and see if there is anything you could possibly delete (rm). Try ls -ltcar to list the files in /tmp from oldest to newest. You may have a core file or a temporary file someone is using to build a report...

Thanks,

and no I'm not the admin guy...I just was the first one to look over the error message and hadn't seen this one before, and I knew that this forum would be the right place to ask what it was I was seeing.

thanks for the quick answer

Ever learning
Uni
