can't login my account Error Message: Datalog Error, Can't write to file, Check file system space o

Hi all

I have an account called demo in my hp-ux system for reason I can't login any more I have this error message:
Error Message: Datalog Error, Can't write to file, Check file system space or file size.

Other accounts can login perfectly, only demo account is unable to login.
Did anybody has this problem before?

Alex

Shalom,

Log in as root

grep demo /etc/passwd

You might get some idea what this account is all about.

You can do a su - demo to get more information.

It appears to me that the home directory of that user may not be there or accessible to that user.

But not knowing where the user came from all I can do from here is provide a path for you to discover the problem.

> Datalog Error
Looks like a VxFS error and the home filesystem may be full. Login as root and check the filesystem using "bdf" If it is full you have to cleanup or extend the volume/filesystem.

Actually situation is bad for both, / and /home2
For /, its not obvious to have anything which should occupy the space, rather it is static FS.Look for extra files, which you can remove safely...tars...core files...Else, you may want to increase it. Search the forum for increasing /
For /home2, it may be increased online if your users are stubborn enough to disagree deleting any file from their login locations. You can do a du -xk /home2|sort -k1nr and check for consumtions....

"it may be increased online"
---You should have OnlineJFS for this. :)

# find / -name core or u can grep it
============================================
for home directory use
#du -kx /home2 |sort -nr |more
