string

Not a stream device
Cause
A putmsg(2) or getmsg(2) system call was attempted on a file descriptor that is
not a STREAMS device.
Technical Notes
The symbolic name for this error is ENOSTR, errno=60.
Not enough space
Cause
This message indicates that the system is running many large applications
simultaneously, and has run out of swap space (virtual memory). It could also
indicate that applications failed without freeing pages from the swap area. Swap
space is an area of disk set aside to store portions of applications and data not
immediately required in memory. Any data written during this condition will
probably be lost.
Action
Reinstall or reconfigure the system to have more swap space. A general rule of
thumb is that swap space should be two to three times as large as physical memory.
Alternatively, use mkfile(1M) and swap(1M) to add more swap area. This
example shows how to add 16 MB of virtual memory in the /usr/swap file (any
filesystem with enough free space would work):
# mkfile 16m /usr/swap
# swap -a /usr/swap
To make this automatic at boot time, add the following line to the /etc/vfstab file:
/usr/swap - - swap - no -
