"No space left on device" error encountered when trying to control Gateway
-- When trying to start or stop Gateway the following error can be observed, either in command line or in a trace file (SYS.out, SUP.out):
-- 2011/10/19 10:11:23 - ERROR from SmwQueueOpen
2011/10/19 10:11:23 msgget failure: (28) No space left on device
Resolution
* The error is generally encountered when the Operating System cannot open additional IPC message queues (due to configuration limits).
To solve this:
1. Determine the number of messages queues already opened:
ipcs -a (or ipcs -q)
2. Determine the number of IPC message queues needed by Gateway.
Typically Gateway needs 7 message queues when using only one protocol but the need may increase while activating additional protocols and/or dynamic processes.
3. Increase the number of IPC message queues (msgmni)
For exemple:
echo 100 > /proc/sys/kernel/msgmni
4. Restart Gateway
