Problem IT30644
|
Status: Closed |
ADDING A CHUNK CAN FAIL WITH ERRNO 4 (FALLOCATE() INTERRUPTED BYALARM)
|
| product: |
INFORMIX SERVER / 5725A3900 / E10 - |
| Problem description: |
If addition of chunk file takes too long (longer than two to
four seconds), this now can fail with errno 4 (Interrupted
system call).
$ onspaces -c -d testdbs -p /path/to/new/chunk -o 0 -s
Verifying physical disk space, please wait ...
Chunk verification failed with errno 4.
This would happen if that file hasn't been preallocated, so
would be allocated using fallocate() api. |
