Re: [Skunkworks] Net App Space Problem
What could be the problem when an application reports *Linux error
28* (No space left on device) yet when we do a df there are tonnes of free
space?
You could have run out of inodes is a possibility. Alternatively, your application could be generating tonnes of metadata filling the filesystem and at that point detect space issues, throw the error and clean up. When you later come checking, it wouldn't look like a space issue since it has already cleared the metadata. Another possibility is the application is using a disk other than the one you are assuming it is using. Use lsof to ensure that's not the case.
The application throwing the error requires around 500GB and the
NetApp
mount has 4TB so clearly space isnt the problem.
df -h:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sde1 20G 1.1G 18G 6% / tmpfs 63G 224K 63G 1% /dev/shm /dev/sde3 20G 172M 19G 1% /opt /dev/sde5 20G 173M 19G 1% /tmp /dev/sde6 20G 8.7G 11G 47% /usr /dev/mapper/lv1 3.9T 676G 3.0T 19% /u1
Weird setup. You running oracle on this system? Actually now that I look at it carefully, I would bet its /tmp directory. Almost 90% certain that's what's the problem. Most application will dump metadata on tmp Muriithi
