| 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:

OSERR : EFBIG (27) "File too large"

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. | |
