Status: Verified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.1x
IBM AIX 4.3.3
IBM AIX POWER 5.1
SYMPTOM(s):
Adding records to the database
SYSTEM ERROR: Unable to extend database within area <pareaName>. (8897)
<function>:Insufficient disk space during <system call>, fd <file descriptor>, len <bytes>, offset <bytes>, file <file-name>. (9450)
bkioWrite:Insufficient disk space during write, fd <file descriptor>, len <bytes>, offset <bytes>, file <file-name>. (9450)
bkxtn: write error, file <file-name> errno: <number>. (3646)
Disk space is more than sufficient.
The extent mentioned in the error messages is a variable-length extent.
Variable-length extent is close to 1GB.
CAUSE:
A file called /etc/security/limits sets, by default, the file size limit to 2,097,151 blocks. The block size here for ulimit is 512K, thus the size limit of the extent is about 1GB.
note: /etc/security/limits is the file where soft and hard limits are stored.
FIX:
Increase the file size limit in the file /etc/security/limits up to 2GB. Please see a UNIX system administrator for further details.
