Hello there gurus, I have a bit of a quandary here. I have two systems, one
a Tru64 4.0d and the other a RedHat Linux system on a pc. I am mounting a
share(/second) from the Linux box(pinto) onto the Tru64 box(mustang) and am
dumping the filesystems there.(ufs) I keep getting an error when I try to
dump a specific filesystem. The 'bigdir' file system is on its own drive:
mustang> df -k
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/rz1a 244891 51037 169364 24% /
/proc 0 0 0 100% /proc
/dev/rz1g 3914988 1666669 1856820 48% /usr
/dev/rz0g 3847916 2339936 1123188 68% /usr/bigdir
pinto:/second 8125888 1734876 5978240 23% /pinto
Of just a df:
mustang> df
Filesystem 512-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/rz1a 489782 102074 338728 24% /
/proc 0 0 0 100% /proc
/dev/rz1g 7829976 3333338 3713640 48% /usr
/dev/rz0g 7695832 4679872 2246376 68% /usr/bigdir
pinto:/second 16251776 3469752 11956480 23% /pinto
I have the pinto nfs share mounted on /pinto on mustang. So, bigdir is
about 2.3 gigs and the drive on pinto has about 6 gigs free. When dumping I
get:
mustang> dump -0u -f /pinto/mustang/mustang_bigdir /usr/bigdir
dump: Dumping from host mustang
dump: Date of this level 0 dump: Wed Jul 18 17:43:35 2001 MDT
dump: Date of last level 0 dump: the start of the epoch
dump: Dumping /dev/rrz0g (/usr/bigdir) to /pinto/mustang/mustang_bigdir
dump: Mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
dump: Mapping (Pass II) [directories]
dump: Estimate: 2330980 tape blocks on disk
The available blocks(1494560),is less than the estimated blocks(2330980)
Dump is being aborted
dump: SIGTERM received
dump: The ENTIRE dump is aborted
Very odd. It says that I have 1494560 blocks free when dumping and that I
have 11956480 blocks free with df. If you do the math it is exactly 8 times
as much as I need.(some kind of convergence?) Why the difference? Am I
missing the point here?
The /usr directory is about 30% smaller and it dumps fine. I should have
plenty of space. Is this a dump problem, an nfs problem or a Linux problem?
I would think that since Tru64 reports the same disk stats as Linux does for
the /second partition that it should work fine. Any ideas?
Thanks!
