Troubleshooting a Shortage of Disk Space

When you execute a Suspend command, your system creates a statefile to preserve the current state of your system. If the file system that contains the statefile is full, a Suspend Failed window appears with the following message:

Suspend requires more disk space for statefile.

Perform the following procedure in response to this message.

To Respond to a Disk Space Limitation

1. Select Cancel.

   You must take corrective action before you can try to suspend again.

   If you have not already saved your work, do so now.

2. Check for more information in the Console window in the Workspace.

   You must have a minimum of 10 Mbytes of free space. Clean up a partition before you try to suspend again. Another solution is to change the location of the statefile to a file system with sufficient space, as described in the power.conf(4) man page.

   Contact your system administrator for assistance, if necessary.

3. Try Suspend again.

   • If Suspend succeeds, the system saves your activities and the system powers off.

   • If Suspend does not succeed, the alert window appears again. In that case, continue with the next step.

   Save your work if you have not already done so.

4. Select Power Off.

   Your data is not saved unless you save the data manually.

   When you power on again, your system automatically reboots.
