dmesg output

[Lai Hoe Ping]

Dear all users,

When I executing dmesg, instead a proper output, it shown errors. Sample as below :

mpc_bindlwp: Overriding conflicting mandatory binding!
mpc_bindlwp: Migrating process 10902 from processor 1 to processor 0!

vxfs: mesg 001: vx_nospace - /dev/vg00/lvol4 file system full (1 block extent)


The bdf command gives :

/dev/vg00/lvol3 151552 40609 104335 28% /
/dev/vg00/lvol1 99669 34581 55121 39% /stand

What is those first and second errors indicate? How to resolve them?

The /dev/vg00/lvol4 (/home) still having a lot of free space. Why the error shows 'file system full'?

Thanks in advance.

Hi the messages about the lvol being full could have occured at an earlier time, that's why home shows ok now.

1st error
mpc_bindlwp: Overriding conflicting mandatory binding!
mpc_bindlwp: Migrating process 10902 from processor 1 to processor 0!

The process 10902 is being moved to execute on CPU 0.

What is the application?


2nd error,
get lsof and find out what processes are writing to /home/

Hi Lai,

Take a look at the thread below. Looks like an issue with older version of STM. Also you need to check for a patch,

Hope this helps.

Hello,

if the error still occurs although the bdf shows free-space you might get the same message if you run out of i-nodes.

check "bdf -i" in addition

Hope this helps

Hi Bill,

We are running EPPIX and CS/3 application on the server. OS = HPUX B.11 and Informix 7.35. The dmesg command is working fine before this.

I tried with lsof command but seems like the OS does not supports it.

Thanks.

What exactly do you mean "instead of proper output"? What do you consider proper output for dmesg?

dmesg is a log utility that will record some of the same errors as /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log. The only thing with dmesg is that it has NO TIMESTAMP for the errors. The "filesystem full" error did occurr at some point, but it is NOT occurring at the exact instant that you type dmesg.

dmesg is a fixed size file. This means that once the max size has been reached, the oldest contents of the file will start to disappear as new information is written.

I hope this helps. If not, can you please provide more details of your problem?

[Trond Haugen]

As Patrick explained dmesg displays the last "system messages". If you are looking for the boot messages you will find them in /var/adm/sysylog/syslog.log

Trond

You should also look at /etc/rc.log for more information. It may tell you what was runnning when you got he error.
