I'm experiencing the loss of my cron process in the following instance:
it would appear that if my nightly dump fails, due to a tape error (or a tape
not inserted into the tape drive ;^_at_) my cron process also aborts. is this
'normal behavior? dec 2100 osf/1 v3.0. here is my log of the event:
dump: Dumping from host
dump: Date of this level 0 dump: Wed Jan 04 00:03:36 1995 EST
dump: Date of last level 0 dump: the start of the epoch
dump: Dumping /dev/rre0a (/) to /dev/nrmt0h
dump: Mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
dump: Mapping (Pass II) [directories]
dump: Estimate: 46316 tape blocks on 0.00 volume(s)
dump: Dumping (Pass III) [directories]
dump: Volume 1, tape # 0001, begins with blocks from i-node 2
dump: Dumping (Pass IV) [regular files]
dump: 1.08% done -- finished in 00:01
dump: Write error -- wanted to write: 10240, only wrote: -1
slave_work(): write(): I/O error
dump: Write error - /dev/nrmt0h, volume 1, 2 feet -- cannot recover
dump: Cannot fopen /dev/tty for reading
query(): fopen(): No such device or address
dump: SIGTERM received -- Try rewriting
dump: Unexpected signal -- cannot recover
dump: The ENTIRE dump is aborted
i was able to reproduce this error by not loading a tape and resubmitting the
job. any thoughts?
thanks........
