Solaris Issue
Hi,

I am having a serious problem with a Solaris 2.6 box. Whenever I try and tar a large directory I get this error:tar: write error: unexpected EOF

My own research shows that I might have to enable tarring large files by this command:
fsadm -o largefiles <mountpoint>

My box does not seem to have fsadm installed. Any other way I can tar up these files?

UPDATE: I ran this command:

Code:
/ on /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0 read/write/setuid/largefiles on Wed Dec 16 17:07:18 2009
/usr on /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s5 read/write/setuid/largefiles on Wed Dec 16 17:07:18 2009
/proc on /proc read/write/setuid on Wed Dec 16 17:07:18 2009
/dev/fd on fd read/write/setuid on Wed Dec 16 17:07:18 2009
/var on /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s3 read/write/setuid/largefiles on Wed Dec 16 17:07:18 2009
/export1 on /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s6 setuid/read/write/largefiles on Wed Dec 16 17:07:37 2009
/export2 on /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s7 setuid/read/write/largefiles on Wed Dec 16 17:07:37 2009
/export4 on /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 setuid/read/write/largefiles on Wed Dec 16 17:07:37 2009
/export5 on /dev/dsk/c1t5d0s0 setuid/read/write/largefiles on Wed Dec 16 17:07:37 2009
/export6 on /dev/dsk/c1t6d0s0 setuid/read/write/largefiles on Wed Dec 16 17:07:37 2009
/oracle on /dev/dsk/c1t6d0s1 setuid/read/write/largefiles on Wed Dec 16 17:07:37 2009
/opt on /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s4 setuid/read/write/largefiles on Wed Dec 16 17:07:37 2009
/tmp on swap read/write on Wed Dec 16 17:07:37 2009
/common/local on /export1/common/Solaris/local read/write on Thu Dec 17 10:28:38 2009

Seems as if it is set to read/write large files already! So why am I getting that error message? How can I check for disk space used?
I am new to Solaris.
Please advise.

is there enough free disk space on the filesystem? whats the command you used exactly? FSADM CAN BE USED FOR VXFS

I am trying to attach a SCSI tape drive but it keeps given errors upon reboot. There is an ULTRA SCSI drive and two other SCSI drives all attahced in chain. Any suggestions on how to connect SCSI drive?

housekeep your filesystem, retry your steps , then update us.

I cannot housekeep the system as the manager wants a copy of the current system so it would be unwise to delete anything.

Only choices now are to get the SCSI tape driving working or remotely copy files over to another system. SSH is not installed on the box. Any other way to copy files remotely?

I have seen someone do this. Get an external hdd drive . cop the data over using winscp after connecting a cross cable from your notebook to the server.

You have lost me. I need more details. Why do I need a notebook if I connect an external hard drive to the server?
