While running program on Vax, The programs usually create a data file and let the program carry on to dump data in. Last week monday, for some reason the system or Harddrive (dka400) don't write or create that file. And cause error and can not continue running the program. I move all the date to other drive and working fine there.
A few days later I move all the data back to dka400: and working fine, till yesterday it happen again.
I wonder will that be that Hard drive have problem ?
And also, right now I dump all the data (data directory only) to Dka100: and let the user carry on. After I login, I type
mount
dka100
label
the device status is mounted alloc.
and when I logout it dism the dka100:
How to set it so it will not to dismount after logout.
Thanks !

There is something funny happing for the last 2 week. While users running programs to create quotation, the program will create a file on write information into it. Two weeks ago monday
error show up everytime when create a file.
Example : Program try to create a file name
Q123456.300 (300 is the date) q123456 is the quotation number. look to me I can write or create this file name in that Hard Drive. I copy all the date to another di

Re: Hard drive problem
What error messages get Your program/procedure when file creation is failing ?
Have You looked into the error log of this system: does it contain entries for this device (dka400:) ? Go to sys$specific:[syserr] and do analyze/error.
>>How to set it so it will not to dismount after logout.
You are mounting the disk "private", i.e. only for the actual process/login: You have to mount the disk either /GROUP or /SYSTEM to have the mounted disk available for other users (of Your group or system-wide).

Solutionwill mount the drive and keep it mounted when you logout.
Try
$ ANAL/DISK/READ DKA100:
to check the file structure of the disk and read every file. This may show some errors.
There may be a problem on an area of the disk currently not in a file. You can create a file that fills the disk and then delete it forcing all the blocks to be written.
$ COPY NL: DKA100:[000000]TMP.TMP/ALLOC=x
$ SET FILE/END DKA100:[000000]TMP.TMP
$ DELETE/ERASE DKA100:[000000]TMP.TMP;
where x is the number of free blocks. This will test the drive and show up any bad blocks in the free area. Bad blocks will be revectored or otherwise made unavailable.
Purely Personal Opinion

Re: Hard drive problem
The error message was feed back from my in-house programs. Example program "a" get information and create a file call q123456.300 and this file was format to a size was set to be use. Then call program "b"
and "b" trying to open this file and write information in to it. Since this file is not create at all, usually it does but now it not. The error message from my in-house program say "Can't open q123456.300, file not found", of cause since this file is not create at all.
Last nite, I try to create a file thru. edit
example :
edit q123456.318 and the system don't allow me to do that, the screen go to quick I can't catch them. Something like ACP file access .......
and today I create the same file and is o.k
that is very strange.
An about the mount disk, So you think I can't just use
mount dka100: label
since this disk is for everyone to use. Maybe
I mount this disk in system account, instead of my own account. But I don't think there is any different between them.
All I need is after I mount the disk, the disk will not dismount when I log out.
Thanks !

Re: Hard drive problem
what error is this program receiving , or does it no error/success checking at all ?
If so, make program "a" logging errors.
Since You apparently are not the system manager, contact the responsible to have a look into the errorlog after You know the error received from the file creating program.
To mount a disk /group or /system, the account needs either the SYSNAM or GRPNAM privilege, and depending on the device protection, SYSPRV,OPER or GROUP privilege.
If it's a disk usually accessible by all users, ask the system manager to add the mount/system dka400: to the system startup procedure.

Re: Hard drive problem
$ COPY NL: DKA100:[000000]TMP.TMP/ALLOC=x
$ SET FILE/END DKA100:[000000]TMP.TMP
$ DELETE/ERASE DKA100:[000000]TMP.TMP;
I am using dka400: instead of dka100: since dka400: is the one have problem. I follow your step and I type the tmp.tmp out like following :
?
% type-f-writeerr,error writing sys$output:,:
-rms-f-sys, Qio system service request fail
-system-f-exquota, exceeded quota
Do I have to do something with the quota stuff.
Thanks

Re: Hard drive problem
$ TYPE TMP.TMP
anyway. The only purpose of Ian's commands is to write over all unused blocks of the disk in order to test them.

Re: Hard drive problem
EXQUOTA, process quota exceeded
Facility: SYSTEM, System Services
Explanation: An image could not continue executing or a command could
not execute because the process exceeded one of its resource
quotas or limits.
If this message is associated with a status code returned
by a request to a DR32 interface, a DR11-W interface, or an
LPA11-K driver, the AST quota for the requesting process is
exceeded. In the latter case, an AST cannot be queued for a
buffer full/empty AST. Normally, a start data transfer request
can require no more than three AST blocks at a time.
If this message is associated with a vector disabled (VECDIS)
status code, the process's paging file quota prohibits the
allocation of sufficient process memory for storing its
mainline vector state.
If this message is associated with a status code returned by
a request to a DUP11 interface, a request cannot be queued
because the buffered I/O quota is exceeded.
This message can indicate failure to create a subprocess
because deductible quotas, when subtracted from the current
quotas of the creator, would not leave the minimum required
quotas for the creator.
This message may also occur if the size of a buffered I/O
request exceeds the value of the SYSGEN parameter MAXBUF.
User Action: Use the DCL command SHOW PROCESS/QUOTAS to determine the
current quotas and to determine which quota is exceeded.
Determine whether any subprocesses are hibernating and
are no longer performing useful functions; delete any such
subprocesses.
If a program fails consistently because of insufficient
quotas, ask the system manager to increase your quotas.

Re: Hard drive problem
I do the tmp.tmp already and pointing to dka400:[trs.data] to run a quotation, same error it just don't create the file name for me.
Point to dka100:[trs.data], no problem...
That is very strange. Same program and the data was copy over from dka400: to dka100:
Maybe I have to look into something else to solve this.
Thanks !
