Fixed In:

Opened: Jul 24, 2017

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

New requests are not added to the Request Log due to full disk partition /var/asmdata1.

Impact

New requests are not added to Request Log.

Conditions

Disk partition /var/asmdata1 is completely filled.

Workaround

As a workaround, you can safely delete all files under /var/asmdata1/request_log. Afterwards, kill the asmlogd process and allow it to restart automatically. Alternatively, ASM can be restarted.

Fix Information

In cases where there is not enough free space on the filesystem, so a request will not be saved to Request Log, the system logs an error on failure. In addition, the system now detects and deletes unneeded files from /var/asmdata1 to reclaim some free disk space when the problem occurs.
