[Pc_Support] [OT] SGI XFS question ....

[William A. Mahaffey III]

.... I have an SGI octane on my LAN, 2 X 300 MHz R12000, IRIX 6.5.20f, 
w/ a 73.4 GB IBM HDD (1 big partition) which is exported via NFS to 
other machines on my network, and is used as work space by some of them. 
To that end, I back it up nightly across my LAN to another box, 2.4 GHz 
P4, SuSE 9.2 Linux, all stock, w/ a 160 GB IDE HDD mounted as /home. The 
Octane drive is automounted by the Linux box as needed, using automount 
over NFS3. I get a spate of error messages on the Octane during this 
backup process (which simply creates a compressed TAR archive of 
relevant directories from the Octane on the Linux box), which errors-out 
on the Linux box before completion. I attach the error messages from the 
SGI, there are no messages from the Linux box, just an incomplete 
backup. Does this ring any bells w/ anyone ? I ran xfs_check & 
xfs_repair this weekend on the Octane HDD, but to no avail. TIA and 
Merry Christmas :-).
