OK, the problem is once again that /var is full: /usr/local/ldm/decoders% df -k Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on ... /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1 413639 384656 0 100% /var ... Unfortunately, this time I have nothing under /var that I can delete either as 'mcidas' or 'ldm'. What you need to do is: <as 'root'> cd /var/tmp <review the contents of the file 'contents'; if it is expendable, delete it. If it needs to be kept, move it to a file system that has some space> After making some room in /var, you will need to restart your LDM: <as 'ldm'> ldmadmin start It is possible that the LDM queue has been corrupted, so it may be advisable to start the LDM as follows: ldmadmin stop ldmadmin delqueue ldmadmin mkqueue -f ldmadmin start I would have done all of the above myself, but I no longer have 'root' access on cyclone.
