Statistics gathering error

Question

Hi all,
I am running on AIX  version 5.3 with oracle 10.2.0.1 database.
Since yesterday I am encountering errors when gathering statistics from table partitions that already have data in it. I was able to gather without errors for years but then suddenly I got the following errors:
exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats('BLP', 'ADJUSTMENT_TRANSACTION', 'ADJUSTMENT_TRANSACTION_P201311', GRANULARITY=>'PARTITION')
BEGIN dbms_stats.gather_table_stats('BLP', 'ADJUSTMENT_TRANSACTION', 'ADJUSTMENT_TRANSACTION_P201311', GRANULARITY=>'PARTITION'); END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_STATS", line 13044
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_STATS", line 13076
ORA-06512: at line 1
I also got the following errors in the alert_logs:
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [KSFD_DECAIOPC], [0x7000004FF189780], [], [], [], [], [], []
The other day the alert_log generated this error when generating statistics also for another table:
ORA-01114: IO error writing block to file 1001 (block # 4026567)
ORA-27063: number of bytes read/written is incorrect
IBM AIX RISC System/6000 Error: 28: No space left on device
As I checked, the server has sufficient space.
Do you guys have any idea what could be the problem? I can't generate table statistics as of the moment due to this problem.
Regards,
Tim

Hi Suntrupth,
BLP@OLSG3DB  > show parameter filesystemio_options
NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
filesystemio_options                 string      asynch
BLP@OLSG3DB  > show parameter disk_asynch_io
NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
disk_asynch_io                       boolean     TRUE
No invalid objects where returned also:
BLP@OLSG3DB  > select object_name from dba_objects where status='INVALID' and owner='SYS';
no rows selected
