Exception log shows the following error message: No space left on device

Question & Answer


Question

While running a job, the following exception shows up in the app_server exception log: 2006-01-17 00:06:17,431 [jsp_2522:/ccd_rendering/renderer.jsp] ERROR common.error.AustinException - Failed trying to retrieve a blob, Exception; No space left on device java.io.IOException: No space left on device After the exception occurs, all WPC scripts are inaccessible (get a server error page when clicking on the script from the script console). The UNIX command "df" was run on the application server file system and it does not appear to indicate that any logical volumes are full. Is this a DB issue? How can this be resolved and what is the root cause?

Answer

Looks like one of the tablespaces is out of space, most probably the temp directory used by WPC. Please check the common.properties file for the following entry -

temp_dir = /tempfs/

Here if the directory tempfs if not mounted or aliased, it will default to the root directory. Then if the root directory does not have at least 2-4 GB of space, it will run out of space when running large jobs.

Please allocate at least 2-4GB space to this temp_dir, which should resolve this issue.
