Kernel Messages
Kernel Messages
Appendix B 205
Each message is also written to an internal kernel buffer that you can view in the file
/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log.
In some cases, additional data is written to the kernel buffer. For example, if an inode is
marked bad, the contents of the bad inode are written. When an error message is displayed on
the console, you can use the unique message ID to find the message in
/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log and obtain the additional information.

001 NOTE: msgcnt x: mesg 001: V-2-01: vx_nospace - mount_point file system full
(nblock extent)
• Description
The file system is out of space.
Often, there is plenty of space and one runaway process used up all the
remaining free space. In other cases, the available free space becomes
fragmented and unusable for some files.
• Action
Monitor the free space in the file system and prevent it from becoming
full. If a runaway process has used up all the space, stop that process, find
the files created by the process, and remove them. If the file system is out
of space, remove files, defragment, or expand the file system.
To remove files, use the find command to locate the files that are to be
removed. To get the most space with the least amount of work, remove
large files or file trees that are no longer needed. To defragment or
expand the file system, use fsadm (see the fsadm_vxfs(1M) manual
page).
