Description

Error Message

vxfs: msgcnt 32 mesg 001: V-2-1: vx_nospace - /dev/vg00/lvol9 file system full (8 block extent)
 

Cause

The intermediate message can be ignored since the overall fsadm_vxfs(1M) operation is successful.

 

Resolution

fsadm_vxfs relocates resources to achieve file system reorganization. It requires free file system space for the allocation done as part of relocation/reorgnize operation. So it might encounter an ENOSPC condition for a requested contiguous allocation when requested contiguous space is not free. The fsadm_vxfs(1M) command then retries the reorganization by updating internal file system metadata. For the ENOSPC situation mentioned, the file system full message is displayed. This message is not displayed when existing allocation units are sufficient to handle the allocation request.
