DB2 problem...: PANIC: No space left on device

I saw the subject line in both gcc and sourceware htdig logs for Sunday.

I'm taking care of short-term actions now, but I'm on the last line of
defense; bzip2 of db.wordlist between runs.  Win: bzip2 disk compression
of 2*~600M.  Loss: time for bzip2 of 2*~600M.

In other words: can there please be some more disk for htdig use?

It might be that all that is needed (at least short- to middle-term) is
that someone with sufficient powers make a directory writable by htdigid
in /sourceware/snapshot-tmp so the "sort" invocations could use that for
its temp files.  Though the proposed move of either the gcc or sourceware
htdig parts to a partition of its own would be a bit better.

brgds, H-P
