Errors in fbackup log

[Markus Hoeschen]

Hi all,

I??m using fbackup. Since yesterday there are some errors in my fbackup log file. I can??t find any infos about them on the HP-Website. Can anybody help me?

Here is the (error) part of my logfile:

If I remember correctly, you get this error when there are (read) I/O errors when reading the file(s).

If you have not already done so, then add the "-v" option to the fbackup command. That will probably report *which* files are having problems. If so, you can try to cp(1) or cat(1) these files to /dev/null. That will probably also give errors. If so, you know you have a disk problem.

If you do not know which files, but do know which filesystem, or need to know which disks are involved, then do a bdf(1M) to get the LV name for the filesystem, a "lvdisplay -v /dev/vg??/lvol?" to get the /dev/dsk/... names of the PVs/disks, a lssf(1M) to get the hardware addresses, a "ioscan -f -H ..." to get the "Description" of the disks.

Hi,

Try some fbackup patches. Look for the fbackup patch for your version of ux,

From ITRC Home --> Individual patches --> HP-ux patches --> select keyword as fbackup and select your version of ux.

Have a look at the threads below,
