problem with ifconfig

[sysadm_1]

Hi Leonard,
This system may not have /tmp seperately mounted.If there is enough space in root and there is folder /tmp exists,then it will be fine.
Did you check "ifconfig lan1".since your lanscan does not show lan0.

cheers!!

hi sysadm,

/tmp does exist in /.
i tried even ifconfig lan1, it is also throwing up the same error.

What is the file system statitics? Is it full?

# bdf

ifconfig will create a temporary file in /tmp. If it is full then you will face this problem.

Do like,

# sh -x /sbin/init.d/net.init stop
# sh -x /sbin/init.d/net.init start

what are you getting there?

Thanks all of you for your valuable help in the issue. I have tried out all your solutions, yet i am not able to solve this issue ...

This might be beacuse i dont have the disk array that was connected to the server pior to this or due to someother issue.

since this is not a producton server, I am going ahead with the re-installation of the OS itself.

Thanks opnce again,
regards,
Leo
