Problems when executing "fbackup"

[Orlando De Oliveira R]

Hi,

I have a problem when executing the command "fbackup." It shows me the following error:

fbackup(1004): session begins on Fri Jun 17 10:05:05 2005
fbackup(1513): statcall failed in dotdotnotparent
fbackup(1507): WARNING: could not chdir to patch
fbackup(3055): total file blocks read for backup: 0
fbackup(3056): total blocks written to output file : 0

Thanks,

[Simon Hargrave]

please post full command line you are using, and any associated graph files etc.

Hi,
Looking at error it looks like some permission issue. Check whether you have read permission on files/directories that you are backing up.

Hi,

The used command was:

fbackup -f /dev/rmt/0m -i /apps/testappl -i /apps/testcomn -i /apps/testora -i /apps_srvap/testappl -i /apps_srvap/testcomn -i /apps_srvap/testora
-i /db -i /database1/datos -i /database2/datos -n -v -I /tmp/listado_bd_appl.fbackup


This servant has Oracle 11i

Thanks,

Are you backing up NFS mounted filesystems?

If NOT, then try dropping the "-n" option.

Also, are you running this as root?

Also, it appears a directory isn't available (from this warning):
fbackup(1507): WARNING: could not chdir to patch

find that link:
find / -type l -name patch -print

If you find a link named "patch", then verify it exists:

ls -lL PATH

additionally, don't double post questions: http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=910349

Hi Orlando,

It looks like the patch directory is corrupt or not existing. If you know the location of the directory try to exlude that.
Eg: if your directory path is /oracle/application/patch(change to proper path whatever is the path), then exclude this directory and try fbackup.

If this directory existing and fbackup is not working when we include this dierctory, the directory is corrupted. Run fsck and clean that.

regards

Hi,

The problem this resolved one.

That happened was that they were several open files characteristic of Oracle and this didn't allow to carry out the back with "fbackup"

Thanks to all for their help,

Orlando
