Basically, it's running out of space somewhere. Look at "top" maybe and see what it says then "df" to see if a partition is full or really close to it. Keep in mind, usage may drop after it fails and does a little cleaning up. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...
