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

Question

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.
