Hi managers,
I have a serious problem here with a AS 2000 running Tru64 V. 4.0E.
On sunday one of the disks in a two volume AdvFS domain crashed.
We made a call to Compaq and the technician who changed the disk tried
successfully to get the old disk
running again. So he copied the old disk with dd if=/dev/rrzOLD
of=/dev/rrzNEW.
So this morning I tried to mount the filedomain -> worked.
After that i did a verify -q my_domain.
-> After a load of errors verify crashed with a memory fault!
After several attempts to get the domain working I tried to delete the
/etc/fdmns/my_domain directory
- with the domain not mounted, indeed - to recreate it manually (this
worked sometimes in the past).
But after submitting the rm -rf my_domain command the server just crashed.
The domain looked like this:
# ls /etc/fdmns/my_domain
my_domain:
rz9c rz10c
Any idea why a simple rm could crash a whole server?
I read in another posting here that it is not recommended to clone advfs
volumes with dd,
so this might be the cause for the problems with verify.
Anyway, the server is down now (that's why i can't be more specific about
the verify errors)
and I have to wait for a compaq technician again, because the server is
more than 300 Km away. And they
have no local unix manager there. So I just try to collect some
information...
TIA
Harald
