It looks that you don't have enough free space in /var/tmp

impacts = "/var" 2192327Kb

You need at least 2192327Kb free there
and gzip needs some working space too on top of that.

Check if you have enough space in /var/tmp

Hi Alberto,

I faced a same issue sometime bck, where in issue was due to a "-" directory in /, removing the same had resolved the issue.

Check if you have if any such directories in you case, if so move it or rename it. That should solve your issue.

Best Regards,

Yes, in fact the problem was a directory or mount point in root dir as " - "

When i delete this dir the command was successfully.

Thanks a Lot.
