Verification

Why does my bacup fail during verification with the following errors

ftio: semaphore request failed : Interrupted system call

Hi there.
Semaphores are needed for shared memory on Unix machines. Your process starts a request for a semaphore, which cannot be satisfied,
There is some parameters in the unix kernel reffering to semaphores and so on.
See extract from kernel parameters :
---------------------------------------

sema 1 1 Static N/A Enable Sys V Semaphores
semaem 16384 16384 Static N/A Max Value for Adjust on Exit Semaphores
semmap 258 258 Static N/A Max Number of Semaphore Map Entries
semmni 256 256 Static N/A Number of Semaphore Identifiers
semmns 1024 1024 Static N/A Max Number of Semaphores
semmnu 120 120 Static N/A Number of Semaphore Undo Structures
semume 10 10 Static N/A Semaphore Undo Entries Per Process
semvmx 32767 32767 Static N/A Semaphore Maximum Value
sendfile_max 0 0 Static N/A Max No. of Buffer Cache Pages Usable by sendfile System Call
shmem 1 1 Static N/A Enable Sys V Shared Memory
shmmax 1610612736 1610612736 Static N/A Max Shared Mem Segment (Bytes)
shmmni 1024 1024 Static N/A Number of Shared Memory Identifiers
shmseg 480 480 Static N/A Shared Memory Segments Per Process
-------------------------------------------
If you have a HP-UX system, you can set these parameters with the tool SAM ( System Administration Manager ).
SAM -- Kernel Configuratgion --> COnfigurable parameters

The size of these params is depending on the size of your system. Try to get some support for that, if you don't know anything about it.
