SUMMARY;
Certain functions may overextend available disk space and bring about the error:
<function>:Insufficient disk space during <system call>, fd <file descriptor>, len <bytes>, offset <bytes>, file <file-name>. (6091)
EXPLANATION:
This error indicates that the file you were performing the operation (<function>) on is either larger than the allowable size, or there is not enough disk space left to perform the operations. For example, truncating the before image file on a multi-volume database when there is not enough space on the disk, will result in error 6091
The file that contained the <function> being performed, (such as, write), had insufficient disk space for the function to be completed.
The value for the fd <file descriptor>, indicates which file has run out of disk space.
This error alone does not indicate corruption. In the event the
corrective measures outlined below do not resolve the error, restore
from backup or contact Progress Technical Support.
SOLUTION:
1) If possible, try to create more space in the file system where
the file resides by deleting anything that may be unnecessary.
2) If unable to free up space and the database is a multi-volume
database, a new structure file can be created to point the
multi-volume database to a drive/directory in the file system
that does have the needed space.
*** As always, first make a backup of the multi-volume database
using the backup utility - PROBKUP.
3) Then, using an operating system command - copy the extent with the
error from the disk with the insufficient space to the disk with
sufficient space. *** NOTE: Copying the extent must be done
before using the PROSTRCT REPAIR utility).
4) Then, using an editor such as vi, edit the current structure file
to reflect the changed extent, drive, and directory. (If you do
not have a copy of the current structure file, use the
PROSTRCT LIST utility to create a copy of the current structure
description file.)
5) Finally, use the PROSTRCT REPAIR utility to modify the structure
file to reflect the changes for the extent drive/directory.
(NOTE: PROSTRCT REPAIR applies to Release 7.3B and later).
