Hi,

I am getting the following message when I log in to x86_64 linux machine through putty with my user (not root).

/etc/profile: line 24: write to 1 failed [No space left on device]
/etc/profile[24]: [: argument expected

I am new to linux. Please let me know what should I do to resolve this?

$ ksh --version
ksh --version
version sh (AT&T Research) 93t+ 2010-06-21
bash-3.2$

Thanks,

Probably you have no space left on disc drive. Login as root and free some space on your user home partition. By command you can realize how many space is on particular partition.

Thank you.

/opt/u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/db11g/DB11G/trace/
The above oracle database directory is fully occupied with .trc files. Problem resolved after removing the files.

du -a /opt | sort -n -r | head -n 10

The above command provided the top 10 directories eating up disk space.

Thanks,
