vxfs: mesg 001: vx_nospace

[malki_3]

I have a performance problem with a HP_UX machine on 11.O level
when I chacked, I had find just this error on the dmesg
vxfs: mesg 001: vx_nospace - /dev/vg00/lvol4 file system full (1 block extent)
can someone give me an idea with this
Thanks

Your lvol4 filesystem was 100% sometime back.
(any day after the system was brought upi.e.rebooted)

Just clear up some space from the file system.

There is no problem with these messages.
Make sure that the filesystem is having free space

check using

#bdf


Thanks

Your files system on /dev/vg00/lvol4 is full.

Check where this lvol is mounted to

mount | grep lvol4

and check if you can free up disk space

Do a bdf -l to find out which filesystem is mounted to lvol4. It's probably either / or /home. Then start looking for big files that are clogging things up. If it's /, the check the /dev directory for things like /dev/rmt/om (instead of 0m) - someone may have run a backup to a wrong device file. Look for core files. Use "du -sk /DIRNAME/* |sort -n" to give you a list of the biggest offenders first.

And do a search on the forums for "file system full". There's hundreds of hints out there.

hi,
the message is saying file system lvol4 is nearing full. give bdf and grep lvol4
#bdf |grep lvol4

see the last column to identify on which the file system is mounted and delete some of the files if u can.

Hi:

This message simply means that at sometime, the filesystem mounted on '/dev/vg00/lvol4' was full. This may or may not represent a current state.

The 'dmesg' buffer is small and circular. That is, it is updated and overwritten by the kernel as necessary.

If you wish, you can timestamp and capture 'dmesg' messages as they occur by creating a crontab entry that runs:

# dmesg - >> /var/adm/messages

...every 10-minutes.

Sorry but I forgot to confirm that /tmp(/dev/vg00/lvol4) is used at 36%

Hi,

/dev/vg00/lvol4(/tmp) is full. You need to remove unwanted files under /tmp or increase size of /tmp.

[V. V. Ravi Kumar_1]

hi,
since u run dmesg, it reads from its buffer, all are not fresh messages. the message is, some time back the /tmp was full. if it is 36% now u need not worry.

hello,

One nice try will be this:
a) Backup lvol4
b) newfs -F fs_type /dev/vg00/rlvol4
c) Restore data back.

Normally errors on file system makes these type of error message.

Another thing is the patch level. Install the latet patches.
