File (2540,2,1) PAGEFILE.SYS;2
inconsistent highwater mark and EFBLK
File (2541,1,1) SWAPFILE.SYS;2
inconsistent highwater mark and EFBLK
Is this indicative of a more significant problem?
This error appears after an image restore of the system disk following an error file header full.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: inconsistent highwater mark and EFBLK
I suppose the inconsistency was triggered due to 'nobackup' settings for those file?
(See help SET FILE/BACK and help BACK/IGNO)
How about just deleting those files?
And maybe $set file/end... but if HWM is enabled then this will take a while (if you can even do that one those files on a live system).
[Sorry, no system to test/verify any of the above]
Hope this helps some,
Hein.

Re: inconsistent highwater mark and EFBLK
I had created new page and swap files then deleted the old ones. I'm all set now.
But I am curious as to why a set file/owner would fix this issue.
Thanks again.

Re: inconsistent highwater mark and EFBLK
The files in question are typically marked /nobackup.
To be honest Andrea, it is puzzling. Simply "touching" the file appears to fix it (so other $ set file comands work too). The message fom anal/disk is only informational and doesn't even appear in the $ help/mess BADHIGHWATER
Sorry, can be of any more help. Maybe someone else can jump in for a good answer & 10 points :-)

Re: inconsistent highwater mark and EFBLK
the BADHIGHWATER message is issued from [VERIFY]VERIFY_INDEX based on the values of EFBLK, FFBYTE and HIGHWATER.
The source code comments says: DO NOT FIX IT! and ANAL/DISK/REPAIR doesn't ;-)
A DUMP/HEADER/BLOCK=COUNT=0 of such a file would be required to find out what's wrong.

We discussed this in http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1008627 , it seems that many system disks are corrupted.

Re: inconsistent highwater mark and EFBLK
if you could provide a DUMP/HEAD/BL=COUNT=0 of such a file, I might be able to tell what's wrong...
