I'm hoping someone might be able to help with these problems, at
least point me in the right direction. We did have a power supply
fail and I replaced it, but I did a tape backup AFTER restoring the machine.
Two problems and a question. The first is trying to do a dump 0 level
I received the error at the bottom. The tape is new and i tried several
different tapes.
The second problem is that I can no longer mount the extra hard drive. It
shows up after shutdown, when it magically checks and lists all SCSI
devices.
mounting hard disk error:
/sbin/mount -rd /dev/rz3a /mnt
/dev/rz3a on /mnt: I/O error
The question is if there are unused partition on working disks,
i.e. 9a,9b, 9g are used but 9h is unused. Can the unsed partitions
simply be added without effecting the existing
data on the used partitions? We are getting an error that the swap
space is less than 10% free, so I was going to try to add the partitions
as swap.
Any clues would be very appreciated. And as always thanks for any help,
especially on the weekend.
