Operating Systems AIX error : pg: 0652-122 Cannot write to the temporary file Post 302200279 by fara_aris on Wednesday 28th of May 2008 10:42:25 PM
Old 05-28-2008
Hello,
I was also not able to use vi, and when I tried to telnet to the lpar, I received this error;
"cannot write to /var/adm/wtmp", but I managed to login.

I was not able to write to wtmp, and from errpt, I found these errors;
"Filesystem corrupted", "Filesystem recovery is needed" and the filesize for var/adm/wtmp was not increasing.

I ran an fsck test (online) on /var and it shows some inode errors that need to be fixed.

What I did was I ran fsck in maintenance mode (offline) by booting up from mksysb tape.

As of this morning, it looks okay Smilie

Thanks everyone!

NAME
utmpx, wtmpx - utmpx and wtmpx database entry formats SYNOPSIS
#include <utmpx.h> /var/adm/utmpx /var/adm/wtmpx DESCRIPTION
The utmpx and wtmpx files are extended database files that have superseded the obsolete utmp and wtmp database files. The utmpx database contains user access and accounting information for commands such as who(1), write(1), and login(1). The wtmpx database contains the history of user access and accounting information for the utmpx database. USAGE
Applications should not access these databases directly, but should use the functions described on the getutxent(3C) manual page to inter- act with the utmpx and wtmpx databases to ensure that they are maintained consistently. FILES
/var/adm/utmpx user access and adminstration information /var/adm/wtmpx history of user access and adminstrative information SEE ALSO
getutxent(3C), wait(3C)wait.h(3HEAD) SunOS 5.10 22 Feb 1999 utmpx(4)
