-- Error - CFTU26E CFTFILE  _ Error ( Catalog file creation error)

The following catalog allocation command returns error as shown below:

$cftutil CFTFILE FNAME = data/cftcata, TYPE = CAT, RECNB = 1000000
CFTU26E CFTFILE  _ Error ( Catalog file creation error)
cftutil error code 8

# The encountered issue is related to not having enough disk space

Version 2.6.4 requires 8k for each record & version 2.7.x requires 12k for each record while allocating a catalog.

Hence a large catalog to store say one million records will need about 12GB of disk space.
