Solaris

Hey everyone!. I have a problem with a file that doesn't allow any operation on it. I can't rm,mv,cp nor any other operation to it, I get the following errors:

Code:

bash-2.05# mv ora_2527.aud /bkp
mv: cannot access ora_2527.aud
bash-2.05# cp ora_2527.aud /bkp
cp: cannot access ora_2527.aud
bash-2.05# ls -al ora_2527.aud
ora_2527.aud: I/O error
bash-2.05# file ora_2527.aud
ora_2527.aud:   cannot open: I/O error

uname -a = SunOS rpv 5.9 Generic_118558-30 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440

The filesystem is UFS and is mounted read/write. In fact, there is an oracle DB running there.

Does anybody have any idea on why this happened or/and how to fix it?

Thanks in advance for any help !

Post the results of the following commands;

Code:

ls -lib ora_2527.aud
fuser -uc /path/to/file/ora_2527.aud

Here it is...

Code:

bash-2.05# ls -lib ora_2527.aud     
ora_2527.aud: I/O error
bash-2.05# fuser -uc ora_2527.aud
ora_2527.aud: fuser: I/O error

Are you logged on as sysdba or oracle? I think they are the only people that have access to the audit files, however it does look like there is a problem with the inode of the file.

Can you try the following command in the directory where the file is.

Code:

ls -li *

It may be that you'll have to stop the database, unmount the file system and run fsck to get a better idea of what the problem is. Although there could also be a problem with the disk here as well, I'd suggest that you ensure that you have an up to date backup for this one.

Hi. Thank for your reply gull04. When I execute "ls -li *" I get response for all the files in the directory except for the one that has the problem; with that file I get the same "ora_2527.aud: I/O error" error. This DB is running in an external NetApp filer and the filer does not report any errors nor warnings... I agree with you gull04, the best thing is unmount the vol and run fsck on it...

I'll do this and post the result.

Regards.
