Hi,

Sounds like there could be a couple of issues.

/var could be full, in which case this may
explain these messages. What you could do is
this:

# /sbin/init.d/sendmail stop

# mailq (This should show many items)

If you don't want these messages go to
/var/spool/mqueue and remove all of the files.

If /var is still full, you may need to look
at reducing the size of some of the logs and
remove any unwanted core files.

If /var/ is not full, have a look at this

Restart sendmail

# /sbin/init.d/sendmail start

Hi,
It would seem that the filesystem containing /var/spool/mqueue is full. You can test this the following way (this is how it looks on my system) :

cd /var/spool/mqueue/
bdf .
Filesystem kbytes used avail %used Mounted on
/dev/vgemcbox036/lv_var_spool_mqueue
2301952 5900 2155804 0% /var/spool/mqueue

If the available is very low ... you will need to extend the filesystem OR make a seperate filesystem for the mqueue OR maybe the mail you are trying to send is too big ...

This should get you started ... hope it helps,
Tom Geudens

Thank you all,
Thanks Tom,
I didn't know howo to check /mqueuee with bdf .
I didn't know secundary hard disk is just phisicly here. I need to extend the filesystem for the mqueue.
My question is how to go in single mode to extend mqueue, which command to use and extend filesystem on secundary hard disk.
thank you, thank you

Hi,

To boot into single-user mode:

Stop the system by pressing any key when the console has the stop within 10 seconds message.

Interact with ISL, answer yes

from ISL prompt

ISL> hpux -is

Once the system boots, you can extend the
filesystem.

You need to get the entry from your /etc/fstab
file so that you know what logical
volume is the one for your mqueue
filesystem. You will need to know
what the secondary disk is. Try
using:

# vgdisplay -v /dev/yourvg
and look for the disk that has enough
space.

# lvextend -L 1024 /dev/yourvg/mqueue /dev/dsk/cxtydz
# extendfs /dev/yourvg/rmqueue

Control -D will start the rest of the
system up and into multi-user mode.

If this is not not enough information
we can certainly assist further.

Hi Michael,
Sorry that I'm not responding on time but I do not have HP 10.20. Avaible all the time.
Your: when "Stop the system by pressing any key when the console has the stop within 10 seconds message" I assume refer to shutdown.
I try with shutdown -y -r 10 and any key but not success. On what is stand exactly?
Thank you for your help

Goran

Hi Goran,
what Michael ment is following,
when typ in the command "shutdown -y -r 10 " a message will be displayed like "YOUR SYSTEM WILL BE BROUGHT DOWN IMMEDIATLEY!" after that the system will be rebooted.
Now you have to be very attentive. You have to watch the console. Very fast you will get a message on the console like "Press any key within 10 seconds to interrupt boot."
After that you will be prompted to interact with ISL ...
Now answer with yes and follow the description of Michael.
Good Luck!
