save: SYSTEM error, Arg list too long

Cause

save fails with the error. The cause of this error is that the data base (index) file for the client is greater than 2 Gbytes. With Solaris 2.6 and SBU 5.0.1 this is no longer a problem.

Action

However, with earlier versions of Solaris you need to bring up nwadmin -> indexes -> select appropriate client -> select appropriate fs -> remove oldes cycle -> reclaim space.

This may have to be repeated a few times to reclaim enough space. The indexes can be recreated later if necessary by using scanner.
