dtpad, unable to save big file

[MEYER_8]

We use dtpad to open log files from NASTRAN ( 76 MB size). The file can be opened but when we want to save it we get the error message "unable to save, possibly not enough space on disk" when in fact there is a lot of disk space.
Any idea ?

Gabriel,

Can you open the link ?

You should take a look at /usr, /var/tmp and /tmp one of the filesystems is low on space.

/var /tmp are on the same drive which has 1.8 Gb free

MY only advice I can give you is load the latest CDE patches, however I can not find a specific error or solved solution in one of the patches. This does not mean it can't or will not be solved by installing the patches.

Hope this helps,

Logout of CDE entirely then back in again (Will return all mem blocks held by user id) , if the problem persists .... how much swap is currently configured : fyi dtpad requires approx twice the file size of free memory to open large files.

Hi Gabriel,

Just a thought, do you use disk quotas ?

I installed last CDE patche PHSS_28675 which solved my problem.
Thanks for your help
