fbackup errors

Tracy Hendler_2 — Mon, 15 Mar 2004 11:45:36 GMT

Hello,

I am looking for guidance on the following errors received after performing an fbackup.
fbackup(9999): Interrupted system call
fbackup(2004): WARNING: reader 0: 1st read error, firstread=98304, n=0
These repeat several times in the log file, however, the backup is completed and verified successfully. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Tracy,

It sounds like you have a disk that's starting to fail. Check dmesg/syslog to see if there's any warning appearing - you could also try running the following dd to see if there's any further read errors.

dd if=/dev/vgxx/rlvolx of=/dev/null bs=4096k

regards,

Darren.

Thank you Darren, I will check the syslog and run the dd to verify.

Try using TAR to recreate the error if so replace the disk as soon as possible.

You could also use stm to glance at your hardware's health. /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log is nice to look at as wel because it is timestamped vs dmesg.
