Bulkload generates temporary files under the instance owner's tmp directory or the directory specified with the -L option. Either the file system is full or, on AIX and Linux systems, the maximum file size limit has been reached. Bulkload is unable to continue.
User response
If this is an AIX or Linux system and free disk space is still available, set the ulimit for files to unlimited. Otherwise, increase the free disk space on the specified file system and retry bulkload. If this problem still exists, use the -k option to reduce the temporary file size.
