Hi everyone, I use PostgreSQL 8.1.9 and Debian 4.0 "etch" Linux kernel 2.6.18 (debian precompiled). I install my db and insert one test database without problems. I create schema of this db as sql script. Sql script is a list about create relation table test_table.TEMP__N and set relation and drop relation table where N about from 0 to 300. When I insert sql script with shell command: psql -d test < script.sql > script.log 2> script.err in file error I see 3 error sort: ERROR: could not extend relation 1663/63659/85595: No space left on device ERROR: could not write block 21 of temporary file: No space left on device ERROR: could not write to hash-join temporary file: No space left on device I test all in two server machines: 1) AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 244, 1790.535MHz, 1024MB 2) AMD Opteron(tm) Bi Processor 244, 1804.153MHz, 8192MB First errors begining when sql script inserts: 1) relation about TEMP__100 2) relation about TEMP__227 In any case there is space in device after sql script: 1) Filesystem Dim Used Free Used Mount /dev/md0 953M 254M 699M 27% / tmpfs 503M 0 503M 0% /lib/init/rw udev 10M 88K 10M 1% /dev /dev/md1 5,6G 2,4G 3,2G 43% /var /dev/md2 5,6G 3,5G 2,2G 62% /usr /dev/md3 953M 340K 952M 1% /tmp 2) Filesystem Dim Used Free Used Mount /dev/md0 953M 217M 737M 23% / tmpfs 3,9G 0 3,9G 0% /lib/init/rw udev 10M 88K 10M 1% /dev /dev/md4 133G 67G 66G 51% /era /dev/md3 953M 384K 952M 1% /tmp /dev/md2 5,6G 3,0G 2,7G 54% /usr /dev/md1 5,6G 915M 4,7G 17% /var Can someone help me?
