lloyd,
Thanks, but looking at my system I appear to have loads of free space.

I'm not sure adding a new chunk will make any difference.
Looking up the web, I found that error 271 appears to relate to problems with locking. I've run oncheck -cRecIxD and had no problems reports, except that each of the rawspaces have been set up with premissions 777 instead of 660. I'm ruling this out as a problem as I've been loading data for the last 9 days without a problem.
Thanks,
Tom
