While taking backup of the database server, I hv come across EOT, it ask for 2nd volume, I typed Y, gave a name "backup", but after 2 mins it terminated.
After this I again tried to take offline backup, but after 2hrs the error message "vxfs: mesg 001: vx_nospace - /dev/root file system full (1 block extent)"
is appearing.
my bdf output is:
nokdb:/#bdf

Hi:
It is quite possible that instead of specifying a special device file like '/dev/rmt/0m' you mistyped the zero as the letter "o". Thus, you created a regular file in '/dev' named '/dev/rmt/om' thereby filling the root filesystem.
Look for regular (non-special) files in '/dev' -- ones in an 'ls' listing that don't begin wih "c" that are very large.
Secondarily, look for large files or directories in a sorted list like this:
# du -kx / | sort -k1nr | more
Regards!
