strange error 41

[redfox]

hi all,

I encountered a strange issue recently. I am using netbackup v5.1mp5, the master server is solaris 9. and I have a solaris 9 client with 7 file systems. I have no problem to back up other 6 file systems, however, whenever it comes to back up / (root file system),  it ends up with error 41 (time out).  I can see in detail of activity monitor, the job mounted media and started writing and then nothing actually happen till time out. the data size written to tape is exactly 0.

I opened a case with symantec, they advised me open log for bpbkar, and still I didn't find any error in the log file.

any clue for this issue?

thanks!

Sounds like a filesystem problem. Check filesystem for stale nfs mounts, recursive links, directories permissions, etc....

Try

find /

dd -o /dev/null

that type of stuff.

hi Stumpr,

I think you are right, the file system might have some problem because if I change the selection list from "/" to "?*" it works. however, this is root file system and I need a reboot to run fsck.

thanks!
