When I am using the AUI, I get an error message similar to
AUI Error
Write to temporary database file was unsuccessful.
539016 bytes at record 278479703, record length = 32 bytes.
What does this mean?
Answer:
The AUI tried to create a temporary database file that could not fit in the free disk space. In the above example, the size of the temporary database file before the write was
record 278479703 * 32 bytes/record * 1 GB/(2**30 bytes) = 8.3 GB.
The free disk space, not including the temporary database
file, was 8.3 GB, so the next write to the temporary
database file would have overflowed free disk space.
