V-2-38

Warning: msgcnt x: mesg 038: V-2-38: vx_dataioerr - volume_name file system file data [read|write] error in dev/block device_ID/block

Description:

A read or a write error occurred while accessing file data. The message specifies whether the disk I/O that failed was a read or a write. File data includes data currently in files and free blocks. If the message is printed because of a read or write error to a file, another message that includes the inode number of the file will print. The message may be printed as the result of a read or write error to a free block, since some operations allocate an extent and immediately perform I/O to it. If the I/O fails, the extent is freed and the operation fails. The message is accompanied by a message from the disk driver regarding the disk I/O error.

Recommended action:

Resolve the condition causing the disk error. If the error was the result of a temporary condition (such as accidentally turning off a disk or a loose cable), correct the condition. Check for loose cables, etc. If any file data was lost, restore the files from backups. Determine the file names from the inode number.

See the ncheck(1M) manual page.

If an actual disk error occurred, make a backup of the file system, replace or reformat the disk drive, and restore the file system from the backup. Consult the documentation specific to your system for information on how to recover from disk errors. The disk driver should have printed a message that may provide more information.
