Thats what I suspected at first, then I went through the log again, and found that volumes 3 - 8 were successfully allocated:

Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] .EDU> 01/29/03 03:02 PM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" >...What is the errno=28?... Refer to your AIX documentation, or /usr/include/sys/errno.h specifically. ENOSPC 28 No space left on device. A write to an ordinary file, the creation of a directory or symbolic link, or the creation of a directory entry failed because no more disk blocks are available on the file system, or the allocation of an inode for a newly created file failed because no more inodes are available on the file system. In an AIX JFS enabled for Large Files, free space fragmentation may be the problem: Large disk blocks require 32 contiguous 4KB blocks. If you write to large files beyond the 4MB, file offset will fail with ENOSPC if the file system does not contain 32 unused contiguous 4KB blocks. Note: The file system may have thousands of free blocks, but if 32 of them are not contiguous, the allocation will fail. The defragfs command reorganizes disk blocks to provide larger contiguous free block areas. Ref: InfoExplorer "Understanding Large Files". Richard Sims, BU
