make_tape_recovery error

[Bona_1]

Hi all,
I'm having this problem when I try to create a recovery tape. It gives me the error
******************************************
Server_config: error - unable to determine file system length
ERROR: /opt/ignite/bin/save_config failed
******************************************

does anyone know what the problem can be? Please assist

Hi Bona,

check size of fs_wrapper and mkfs:

# ll /sbin/fs_wrapper
# ll /usr/sbin/mkfs

If one of these has size zero then copy another from a similar system (of course the same version).

HTH.

Best regards,
Ettore

Also check the /etc/fstab for valid entries. Correct this file if necessary, then retry the tape archive.

Thanks Ettore, I copied the file (fs_wrappers) which had a file size of zero, changed the permissions, and it worked like a charm.
