System crashes when filesystem is filled completely and cleared

Hello Guys,

A bigfile is created to fill the filesystem (cat /dev/zero > /bigfile) and crash is seen when the file is deleted. I am seeing this issue with Solaris 11/06 on a HP server.

Just wanted to know if this is a known issue or if there is a patch/pointers which can fix this issue.

I've not seen an issue quite like that. By 'filesystem' I meant what type. From your crash dump, it looks to be UFS.

If no one here has any additional information that is useful, you might open a support ticket with Sun, or post this message on the opensolaris.org UFS discussion group.
