- Hi - PTX 1.1.1 on Unisys 6000/80 (Sequent S81) here...
-
- we use /etc/dump - the filesystem dump program here. two years ago i
- wrote a shell-script wrapper for it so the operators could just answer
- questions. that works fine, if i tell dump to write directly to output
- device. if i tell dump to write to stdout (an allowable feature
- according to the man page), it writes several error messages to the
- screen at the end of the dump that say "DUMP: Failure to acquire
- semaphore", "DUMP: Failure to release semaphore" and "DUMP: Possibly
- corrupted archive" (i'm not sure about the exact text of the last one).
-
- questions:
-
- 1. has anyone seen this before?
- 2. is it fixed in PTX 1.3.1?
- 3. am i doing something wrong?
-
- thanks.....
