ORA-27301: OS failure message: No space left on device

Im unable to start the database. It gives the error:-

ORA-27154: post/wait create failed

ORA-27300: OS system dependent operation:semget failed with status: 28

ORA-27301: OS failure message: No space left on device

ORA-27302: failure occurred at: sskgpsemsper

 

 

What exactly is this error?

I checked ORACLE_HOME and oradata path,they are 90%(approx)
Oracle Version:-  9.2.0.6.0

 

Alert log shows following error repetitively:-

ORA-27154: post/wait create failed

ORA-27300: OS system dependent operation:semget failed with status: 28

ORA-27301: OS failure message: No space left on device

ORA-27302: failure occurred at: sskgpsemsper

The error message seems to be straight forward. Did you see all the drives? Control files, DBF files, redo log files might be in different drives.. You need to check everything

Yes, it-rex's post is what I was referring to. Just make sure you know which instance's IPC objects you are removing, if there are multiple running.

Make sure not to stop Oracle with "kill -9" this is another way to cause this problem.
