Help with errors
I am very new to the world of Unix, in the middle of a crash course as I write this due to a system failure for my company. This system went down approximately 24 hours ago due to some apparent thunderstorms that passed through. The problem is that my company, like many others, has laid off everyone that knows anything and only kept us idiots around. Anyway, when the system was brought back up, the following errors were reported by the system:
wd: ERROR: on fixed disk ctlr=0 dev=1/40 block=29 cmd=00000020 status=00005940, sector=995, cylinder/head = 3/1
hd: WARNING: out of inodes on dev 1/40
-sh: cannot make pipe
wd: ERROR: on fixed disk ctlr=0 dev=1/40 block=29 cmd=00000020 status=00005940, sector=995, cylinder/head = 3/1
hd: WARNING: Out of inodes on dev 1/40
-sh cannot make pipe
Can anyone explain to me what all of this means and if there is any way to resolve this issue short of replacing the hard drive? Main problem with HDD replacement is that we do not have the software to reinstall on the new drive. So, if we the HDD does need replaced, is there a way to create an image of this drive onto a new one getting all the required information?
I would appreciate any and all assitance on this issue as I am under a major time crunch right now. We only have about 48 hours to get this system back into operation before we start losing our subscriber's cable converter boxes.
Thank you
