Hi, I have hit similiar situation in my datawarehouse server. As temp file are sparse, it did not allocate the actual space when it was created. But as you really begin to sort and the filesystem is full , you can get this error. I offlined that tempfile and add another tempfile in another filesystem and everything is ok.
