Due to user error, the rc.config file on one of our Alpha 5.1b systems got deleted and the system was later rebooted so came up without any locla configuration.
I tried to recreate rc.config from a similar copy on another Alpha, but I cannot write to the file - it seems to be in some sort of limbo state.
I can rm the nonexistant file (it doesn't say 'No such file or directory" as it would if the file weren't present) but I can't recreate a file with that same name either manually or using rcmgr...
See console logs below - it's almost like the rc.config file is present in the filesystem (AdvFS with LSM mirroring) but not accessible. There aren't any processes running that would have a lock on the file though, as the system is currently booted single user.
INIT: SINGLE-USER MODE
fopen: /etc/rc.config: Invalid argument
# mount -u /
# ls -l /etc/rc.config
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root system 39 Apr 6 21:08 /etc/rc.config -> ../cluster/members/{memb}/etc/rc.config
# cd /cluster/members/member0/etc
# rm -f rc.config
# ls > rc.config
rc.config: cannot create
# rcmgr set HOSTNAME csgds1
# rcmgr get HOSTNAME
Error: Cannot open /etc/rc.config
#
Any ideas?
thanks.
