make_tape_recovery "minor number" errors

[ConnieK]

I am attempting to create a make_tape_recovery and am encountering IUX errors. I have downloaded and installed the most current version of Ignite - A.3.5.89 and also downloaded and installed the required pax patch. HP9000/800 HP-UX 10.20.

When I run the command:
make_tape_recovery -AI -a /dev/rmt/2mnb, the software passes the pax patch test and then give me the following errors:

WARNING: File '/dla_pr/error' has uid 65533. Pax does not correctly support
files with uid larger than 60K.
WARNING: File '/dla_pr/gatewyin' has uid 65533. Pax does not correctly support
files with uid larger than 60K.
WARNING: statvfs failed. '/dla_pr/rep_ecf01e' in /etc/fstab or /etc/mnttab not

WARNING: File '/dla_pr/error' has uid 65533. Pax does not correctly support

ERROR: The minor number of the volume group exceeds the value IUX can

Can anyone help me please??? I need to have this resolved, if possible, by tomorrow morning.

Thanks!

do 'grep "65533" /etc/passwd' and see which user is assigned the uid. chances are it is someone no longer on your system who has had their login disabled. If the grep returns nothing, then the login id has been removed.
You can then get a list of the files from the make_recovery errors and change their ownership to a valid user.

Hi,

Looks like there are a number of errors.

The errors that relate to 'uid' look as
though there are files on your system
with a uid owner of > 60000 which 'pax'
obviously doesn't like. Try changing
these to a lower number. It could also be
that the '65533' uid does not exist any
more. You could to an 'ls -l' on the
offending files to check. If so change the
owner to something else and re-run your
make_revovery.

Guys - Here's what I've found so far...
The files referenced in the UID errors (>6000) are NFS mounted files from another server that I do not have access to, so naturally, I cannot change the UID. Which, I suppose, also refers to the "statvfs" WARNING - "Stale NFS file handle".

I wonder if I can unmount the NFS files, then try the make_recovery again - what do you think?

Also, I have downloaded the most RECENT version of Ignite (which is what I stated above)

Any thoughts?

To all - thanks for your assistance - I LOVE the forums!

I have found somw information that tells me that I cannot perform the make_tape_recovery on this system (until I upgrade to 11.x). Just for FYI, see the attached file.

Hopefully it attached...
