vx_nospace -/dev/root file system full (1 block extent)

[Patrick Wallek]

I guess there could be 2 problems here?

1) Check for large file in your / filesystem if it is full. Typically check for /dev/rmt/om (used instead of 0m, the number zero).

2) To fix the /dev/root problem if bdf shows / as /dev/root

# mv /etc/mnttab /etc/mnttab.old
# mount -a

bdf should now show / as /dev/vg00/lvol3

Your root file system is full.
Try to remove some file from root. Look at the directory /dev/rmt for an big files. Sometimes pepoles are giving the device name /dev/rm/om instead of /dev/rmt/0m. Most of the time problem started from here.

Hi

Have you done a tar and got the divice file wrong om instead of 0m ?

Check /dev/rmt for big file.

Have you done a copy to a non mounted file system ?

you are running out of space and the system is extending your filesystem. You need to clean some files up by compressing them or deleting them.

a quick way to find bad files in /dev is:

find /dev -type f -exec ls -l {} \;
