Full Discussion: Serius ERROR on HPUX 1020
Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Serius ERROR on HPUX 1020 Post 13651 by LivinFree on Tuesday 22nd of January 2002 03:07:31 AM
Old 01-22-2002
Have you checked the amount of free space on the / partition? The reason it might be working once you reboot it because on startup, many HP-UX systems will clean out tmp and other directories. I am very new to HP-UX administration, although I just got my hands on an old workstation running 10.20, and had a similar problem when I accidentally performed a runaway search that was dumping output to a file in /tmp... I filled up my root partition and bad things started to happen.

Also, did someone change permissions anywhere in the root directory? When I inherited this workstation, I pounded my head against the wall trying to figure out why non-root users couldn't log in... until I finally stopped looking at file permissions and checked the permissions of the / dir...

Also, I am not familiar with tombstones, but if you need them to, a HP CE/SE should be able to diagnose the problem... Also check syslog.log...

voldump

VOLDUMP(8)						       AFS Command Reference							VOLDUMP(8)

NAME

       voldump - Dump an AFS volume without using the Volume Server

SYNOPSIS

       voldump -part <partition> -volumeid <volume id>
	   [-file <dump file>] [-verbose] [-help]

       voldump -p <partition> -vo <volume id>
	   [-f <dump file>] [-ve] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       voldump dumps an AFS volume in the format used by vos dump without using the Volume Server.  It must be run on the file server machine and
       usually must be run as the superuser "root" to have permissions to read the file server data.  It's primary use is to recover data from a
       file server machine where the Volume Server cannot be started for some reason.

       The dump output will go to standard output, or to a file if -file is specified.	vos restore can be used to load the resulting dump into a
       new AFS volume.	voldump always does a full dump.

CAUTIONS

       Normally, use vos dump instead of this command.	voldump is a tool of last resort to try to extract data from the raw data structures
       stored on the file server machine and is not as regularly tested or used as the normal vos dump implementation.

       If the AFS volume being dumped changes while voldump is running, the results may be inconsistent.  If the File Server and Volume Server are
       running, stop them with bos shutdown or a similar method before running this command.

OPTIONS

       -part <partition>
	   Names the partition on which the volume to be dumped is located.  voldump does not take the normal full range of ways of specifying a
	   partition.  Instead, partition must be either a single letter between "a" and "z", corresponding to /vicepa through /vicepz, or the
	   full path to the file server partition.  "aa" is not recognized; use /vicepaa instead.

       -volumeid <volume id>
	   Specifies the ID of the volume to dump.  The volume must be specified by numeric ID, not by name.

       -file <dump file>
	   Specifies the output file for the dump.  If this option is not given, the volume will be dumped to standard output.

       -verbose
	   Asks for a verbose trace of the dump process.  This trace information will be sent to standard error.

EXAMPLES

       The following command dumps the volume 1936964939 on the /vicepb partition to the file /tmp/volume.dump:

	   % voldump -part /vicepb -volumeid 1936964939 -file /tmp/volume.dump

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED

       The issuer must have read access to the file server data stored in the specified partition.  Usually, this means that the issuer must be
       the local superuser "root" on the file server machine.
