-
- directory allocation failure
-
- Facility: SYSTEM, VMS System Services
-
- Explanation: The file system failed to allocate space to increase
- the size of a directory file. Because directory files must be
- contiguous, this error might be caused by the disk being full.
- More likely, there is not enough contiguous space on the disk for
- the directory, so the free disk space is being fragmented.
-
- User Action: Reorganize the free disk space by copying it with the
- Backup Utility, or restructure your application to use a larger
- number of smaller directories.
