fbackup problem

[Achille Costabile]

Hi all,

I seem to be having a problem with our fbackups, where I can not find much information about. I am getting the following error message:
fbackup(1004): session begins on Tue Aug 13 23:00:01 2002
fbackup(1009): cannnot get the specified shared memory segment


Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks
AC

If your using a config file with your backup, it is possible it is requesting too much. Refer to your 'blocksperrecord' and other records in your fbackup configuration file.
Is your shared memory enabled in your kernel.

You may also want to look at any flaky segments that could be left over.

# ipcs -m

Could also be that you need to increase 'shmmax'.

Likely shmmax too tight.
