I am working on the unix box and this error message keeps on popping up every 10 seconds..
I see that /var is full, but how do I add more space to that..
I am not a sysadmin, but have privileges to start working on this as a root..
Thanks, ST

To increase /var,
(1)you can either expand the partition(/var) if you have free space directly below it OR
(2) you can create new partition and copy file system to
this partition

Thanks, ST

For a temporary solution, you can delete some of the junk files that might have accumulated, such as in /var/tmp.
1. You can add a new disk, create a partition with sufficient space on it and mount your file system on that partition.
2. If you have only one disk and if you have your OS on that, I doubt whether you can re-partition it without wiping out the entire OS. In that case, back up your entire on either tapes or cartridges and re-partition your disk and mount your file system on the new partitions.

Do you have Smit?
Here is what I do.
Check the volume group to see is you have more space to allocate.
#lsvg
You can only add Free PPs, be carefule I am understanding once you allocate them. you can not get that space back.
as Root
#smit
System Storage Management System

Change/Show characteristic of Journaled File System
Choose /var
Go to Size of File System, Allocate more space (this is in 512k Blocks)
Hit Enter should say ok when done.
