exportarchive.sh failing ....java.io.IOException: No space left on device

Hello friends ,

Trying to export a massive production environment and its failing with 'java.io.IOException: No space left on device'

Linux filesystem has plenty of space.

We have set custom temp folder at request of Oracle Support but still no luck (set 'system-temp-dir' in xdo.cfg)

I can run the export with a -nouserfolders switch but I cant leave the user content behind obviously

I've cleared out a bunch of /users/_delivers content but alas still hitting that issue.

Can anyone think of anything that might help?

thanks in advance.

The 'tmp' directory is identified in the log(s).
The default is: INFO: BAR - LCM temp directory is [DOMAIN-HOME]/bi/tmp

We have set custom temp folder at request of Oracle Support but still no luck (set 'system-temp-dir' in xdo.cfg)

The above configuration is for the javahost, and not related to snapshot/bar exports.

I will also add…. when migrating, it is an ideal time to "clean up" the user folders, and not replicate all the "stuff" from one environment to another.

Thanks Steve - Can confirm the following…

 [DOMAIN-HOME]/bi/tmp was indeed filling up whilst the export was running.
On Failure the files are deleted so you cant see the space consumed unless you monitor during the export.

Hi,

I don't think the command fail right after you run it. I imagine it starts running, doing something, and then it fails. Monitor all your mounts/drives on the host while running to see which one is running out of space and add space in there.

Oracle owns the code executed by that script (the script itself just call other other things), if they aren't able to tell you exactly what path is involved and require more space, try to find it yourself and find a way to give it more space for the operation you need to perform.
