Hi Ajk,

The problem is obvious. your /tmp file system is 100% full.

# bdf /tmp

if the used is 100% then u got to clean up the file system

# cd /tmp
# find . -atime +7 -exec ls -lrt {} \;

review the files displayed by the above command

if none of them are required

# find . -atime +7 -exec rm {} \;

clear some space ont he filesystem using /dev/vg00/lvol4

run the command bdf

it will be now to answer but eventually will let you know what filesystem the logical volume is mounted on.

Based on the error message, I'd guess /tmp

Well, I think the /tmp is not full.

Any comment? Thanks!

OK, guess your /var/mail/root is so big that is fills out /tmp when you are trying to read mail.

here is what I would do.

# tail -2000 /var/mail/root > /tmp/rootmail

# more /tmp/rootmail

(I hope you can view mail using more - I am not sure though).

Your mailbox size is greater than the free space on the /tmp file system.

Try changing the TMPDIR variable like

TMPDIR=/var/tmp
