vxfs: mesg

YLTan — Mon, 09 Jun 2003 08:23:16 GMT

Does anyone know what this message means? I checked the filesystem and it is not full!

msgcnt 944 vxfs: mesg 001: vx_nospace - /dev/vg03/prxlog file system full (1 block extent)

If the message comes from the 'dmesg' output then the message is most likely old. If it is in the syslog, then could have been temporary. You could do a comparision to see if and when syslog captured this message and this may tell you when.

Hi,

This means lvol /dev/vg03/prxlog
is full,where did u see this message??in dmesg or syslog?how much it is utilised now??
possibly somebody must have deleted some files to make some free space.
In syslog what is the time stamp for this message??If it is old then you can forget it.

Regards,

Question 1

When did this occur? Check your /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log, find out when. If you are looking at the output of 'dmesg' it may be an old message.

Question 2

If it is current, what programs are accessing this file system? These may be attempting to write space and have not updated the 'bdf' results yet, or not closed off the file.

fuser -c [Mount Point]

Hi,

A couple of things, where did the message come from, is it re-occuring in the syslog for example or just an old error?
- which would indicate that there is no problem.
The filesystem under the mount point could be full also if a process wrote it's logs or whatever to the mount point before the filesystem was mounted.

Hope this helps....

Hi

It means what is says on the tin. 'system full' ie you did run out of disk space.

If the system is no longer full, perhaps it was a temporary file which was deleted when the job finished or maybe if the directory name is anything to go by a huge logfile which has since been trimmed. You will need to look and see what jobs have run.

If this a scheduled job then it is probaly worth looking to see what you can clear out or maybe extend the logical volume.

a reboot could solve this problem

Hello ,
I know this error ,
first type bdf -i and see how much free space you have on lvol prxlog .
For extending you have 2 ways :
1.Check if you have OnlineJFS : lvextend , fsadm.

2. If not ,you have to rebbot the machine and go to hpux -lm state , and then extend your lvol : lvextend , extendfs .

You should be able to find out when the message ocured by
# grep "vx_nospace" /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log | tail
