I love emails like this. Do you read the error message at all or you simply email all your findings to the list assuming that the list will automatically be interested in everything coming from you? Don't you think that starting your email with something like "sorry guys and goddesses, I'm a beginner in dire need" would be in order? Now to your message. You need more semaphores, not disk space. Get a copy of Adrian Cockroft's performance tuning book and it will tell you exactly how to modify your /etc/system. Also, you may try looking for the words like "semaphore" at docs.sun.com. I know it's unusual thing to do and much harder then to email this list but you might want to try it nevertheless.
