That this means? in syslog.log

[Orlando De Oliveira R]

Hi,

In the file syslog.log contained the following sentence:

vmunix: vxfs: mesg 001: vx_nospace - /dev/vg04/lvoradata
7 file system full (1 block extent)

That this means?

Thank you,

Orlando

This means that your file system - in this case, /dev/vg04/lvoradata - is full.

You must remove some files or lvextend it. If you don't have OnlineJFS installed, then you'll have to unmount the filesystem to resize it.

Take a look at lvextend and extendfs man pages.

It means you ran out of space in the filesystem. You have to either extnend the filesystem or reconfigure your database files location.

Hi,

But, I have enough I space in this filesystem, like they can observe in the sample.....

Alone you this using 33% of the total space....

When did this message occurr? The message will have the time and date preceding it in syslog.log.

If the message occurred a few days ago, you may not have anything to worry about now.

The message means that /dev/vg04/oradata7 was 100% full at whatever date & time the message occurred.

[Michael Steele_2]

Probably a temporary file then. Use and then removed.

No mistake about it though. No space is no space. In this case /dev/vg04/lvoradata.

[Paulo A G Fessel · Accepted solution]

This situation may happen when you delete files that are in use by some application. The file seems to disappear and the space is shown as released, but it will be available only when the process that had that file opened ends.

Normally this happens in poorly written applications - I've saw this when a costumer script logged massive ammounts of data to / and then gzipped the file without stopping the process that wrote to it first. The result was a situation identical to this.

Unless you discover the process that is hogging your file system, the only solution is to reboot the server.
