Hi All,

I am trying to call gzip utility from my servlet.

The code line is as below :

Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process process = runtime.exec("gzip -f -9 " +fileName);

I got the following error :

java.io.IOException: Not enough space

I even tried to use the actual path of gzip in the code :

Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process process = runtime.exec("/usr/bin/gzip -f -9 "
+fileName);

But still I got the same error.

Can anyone tell me what I am missing out.....

Thanks.

Hi Pete,
It seems to me that your JVM is just running out of space. The JVM has default
limits on the amount of memory (java or native) that it will take from the OS,
and you're hitting one of those limits. How are you starting the WebLogic
server? If it's by the startWebLogic script, or other such, try adding, or altering
the arguments to the invocation of java, to allow more memory.

We just ran into this problem yesterday. For us, it seemed to be a disk
space problem. If you run "df -k" you'll see how full your file systems
are. We cleared out some of the /var/log (capacity was 80%) files reducing
capacity to 50% and the problem went away, for now.
