semget failed for the semaphore
Hi Everyone
I am having trouble using fbackup under SAM in HP-UX 10.20. I'm trying to perform a full backup of the entire system and keep bombing out and I am not sure why. Below is the result from the SAM window showing that fbackup has failed
Starting interactive backup...
br_backup: Invoking fbackup. See /var/sam/log/br_log for details.
fbackup(1421): no history is available for graph file /etc/sam/br/graphKEAa24348 (below level 0)
fbackup(1004): session begins on Mon Nov 26 11:18:39 2001
fbackup(1010): semget failed for the semaphore
Press <return> to continue sam...
Here is the output of the /var/sam/log/br_log
Full backup started on preapp01 : Mon Nov 26 11:18:38 GMT 2001 (Scheduled Backup)
{ fbackup -0 -u -v -g /etc/sam/br/graphKEAa24348 -I /var/sam/log/br_index.full -c /etc/sam/br/fbackup_config -d /var/adm/fbackupfiles/dates -f /dev/rmt/0m } 2>&1
Full backup failed on preapp01 : Mon Nov 26 11:18:39 GMT 2001 .
Exit code = 2
And finally here is a breakdown of the drives
Filesystem kbytes used avail %used Mounted on

/dev/vg00/lvol4 81920 26241 52250 33% /home
I hope that the above is of some use. I do not understand why fbackup crashes out and so any help would be most welcome.
Thankyou

NAME
cachefslog - Cache File System logging
SYNOPSIS
cachefslog [-f logfile | -h] cachefs_mount_point
DESCRIPTION
The cachefslog command displays where CacheFS statistics are being logged. Optionally, it sets where CacheFS statistics are being logged,
or it halts logging for a cache specified by cachefs_mount_point. The cachefs_mount_point argument is a mount point of a cache file system.
All file systems cached under the same cache as cachefs_mount_point will be logged.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported. You must be super-user to use the -f and -h options.
-f logfile Specify the log file to be used.
-h Halt logging.
OPERANDS
cachefs_mount_point A mount point of a cache file system.
USAGE
See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of cachefslog when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes).
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Checking the Logging of a directory.
The example below checks if the directory /home/sam is being logged:
example% cachefslog /home/sam
not logged: /home/sam
Example 2: Changing the logfile.
The example below changes the logfile of /home/sam to /var/tmp/samlog:
example# cachefslog -f /var/tmp/samlog /home/sam
/var/tmp/samlog: /home/sam
Example 3: Verifying the change of a logfile.
The example below verifies the change of the previous example:
example% cachefslog /home/sam
/var/tmp/samlog: /home/sam
Example 4: Halting the logging of a directory.
The example below halts logging for the /home/sam directory:
example# cachefslog -h /home/sam
not logged: /home/sam
