write error: No space left on device

[Pereda123]

I have an MDS 9509 that is generating the message "write error: No space left on device" whenever I perform a "dir log:".

the output looks as follows:

MDS9509# dir log:

who: write error: No space left on device

         31    Jun 24 21:31:07 2008  dmesg

    3313664    Jul 19 17:57:21 2012  messages

      31999    Oct 17 19:27:55 2012  startupdebug

Usage for log://sup-local

  209715200 bytes used

          0 bytes free

  209715200 bytes total

Also, if I do a "show logging logfile" I get the same message with "Internal error in displaying logfile".

SANCore1# show logging logfile

who: write error: No space left on device

Internal error in displaying logfile - 80050013

any advice on fixing this issue will be much appreciated.

thank you.

Hi,

What does the output of

'show system internal flash' look like?

You might want to click on the link to open an SR from this Discussion.

Provide the following output.

show sytem internal flash

show system internal dir /var/sysmgr/ftp

show system internal dir /var/tmp

show cores

Thanks for the info.

the commands you provided all work except the ones with "dir". It gives me an "invalid command detected" message.

MDS9509# show system internal dir /var/sysmgr/ftp

                                                 ^

% invalid command detected at '^' marker.

SANCore1# show system internal dir /var/tmp

                                                  ^

% invalid command detected at '^' marker.

Thanks again.

BTW, the caret symbol is actually under "dir" not internal.

thanks.

Hello Rudy,

Since you have a MDS9509.  You can just do "system switchover" This will clear /tmp which filled up the / directory

Thanks
