Problem description: | |
A page prefetch request might fail with operating system error EFBIG. The page requested by DB2 is wrong and does not exist in the tablespace. You will see an entry like the following in the db2diag.log file: 2013-05-02-17.57.04.517403+120 E7216A1260 LEVEL: Error (OS) PID : 10813602 TID : 13880 PROC : db2sysc 0 INSTANCE: db2inst1 NODE : 000 HOSTNAME: db2host1 EDUID : 13880 EDUNAME: db2pfchr (SAMPLE) 0 FUNCTION: DB2 UDB, oper system services, sqloReadBlocks, probe:60 MESSAGE : ZRC=0x850F000C=-2062614516=SQLO_DISK "Disk full." DIA8312C Disk was full. CALLED : OS, -, pread OSERR : EFBIG (27) "File too large" DATA #1 : File handle, PD_TYPE_SQO_FILE_HDL, 8 bytes File Handle = 651 File System Block Size = 4096 bytes File System Type = jfs2 [...] DATA #6 : File Offset, 8 bytes 17867064049664 DATA #7 : String, 105 bytes Search for ossError*Analysis probe point after this log entry for further self-diagnosis of this problem. 'DATA #6' from the db2diag.log message indicates a file offset beyond 16TB. This exceeds the file size limit for the JFS2 filesystem and is the reason why the operating system returns EFBIG when attempting to read from disk. The subsequent message logged by function ossErrorIOAnalysis will show the actual mount point at 'DATA #7'. Checking your table space containers located on that mountpoint (using 'ls -lR' or 'db2pd -db <DBNAME> -tablespaces' or similar commands) will show that none of your containers actually exceeds the size of 16TB. | |
