dev_seek error error during remote ufsdump

2007-12-25 10:11:00

Hi,

Sorry for the late summary. As the error does not happen

regularly, I need to wait for a little longer to see if the

problem will re-occur again.

First thanks for the reply from David B. Harrington.

After I had

fsck /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s5

it seems that the remote ufsdump does not show the dev_seek

error so far.

Note. "fsck /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s5" does not work as our /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s5

is over 2G. It had already mentioned in fsck man page.

Thanks.

Regards,

Alan S. H. Lam
