Floating exception?

[Melissa Murphy]

Hello, everyone.

Today I noticed the following:

dax 24: df -k
/usr/local (lore:/export/lore/local.HPUX11.00) : 70807232 total allocated Kb
29180464 free allocated Kb
41626768 used allocated Kb
58 % allocation used
/home (lore:/export/lore/home) : 70807232 total allocated Kb
29180464 free allocated Kb
41626768 used allocated Kb
58 % allocation used
/usr/local (auto_apps ) : 70807232 total allocated Kb
29180464 free allocated Kb
41626768 used allocated Kb
58 % allocation used
/projects (auto_projects ) : 0 total allocated Kb
0 free allocated Kb
0 used allocated Kb
Floating exception

It used to list all the /home, /opt, etc. Why doesn't it now and what exactly is a floating exception?

Thanks a bunch,
Melissa

Hi Melissa,

In almost all cases, a floating exception is a divide by zero error. That dumb programmer should have tested his data better before doing a divide operation.

I know that it has the /usr/local twice. Here is how I have that set up:

I have a RAID with 8 disks holding apps, projects, and local, and each of those is broken up into directories depending on the OS. Mounting information is on an NIS server and the system mounts the directory that corresponds with it's OS. Dax is running HPUX11.00, so it mounts /export/lore/local.HPUX11.00 on another machine hooked up the the RAID. This is working out for all my other HPs that are using this method, but it doesn't look like this one is taking it well. Any suggestions?

Hi again,

I suppose you would like a fix. PHCO_23118 corrects this problem in df.

All the programmer's fault? Heh. =) I still feel like I'm doing something wrong, though. I unmounted /usr/local and then looked again and got this:

# df -k
/home (lore:/export/lore/home) : 70807232 total allocated Kb
29180464 free allocated Kb
41626768 used allocated Kb
58 % allocation used
/usr/local (auto_apps ) : 0 total allocated Kb
0 free allocated Kb
0 used allocated Kb
Floating exception(coredump)

Have I not set something up quite right?

I'll try that fix. Thank you. =)

Awesome - that worked out! =)

Thanks,
