039 WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 039: V-2-39: vx_writesuper - file system super-block

write error

• Description

An attempt to write the file system super block failed due to a disk I/O error. If the

file system was being mounted at the time, the mount will fail. If the file system was

mounted at the time and the full fsck flag was being set, the file system will

probably be disabled and Message 031 will also be printed. If the super-block was

being written as a result of a sync operation, no other action is taken.

•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. Unmount the file system and use fsck to run

a full structural check.

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 backups. 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.

040 WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 040: V-2-40: vx_dqbad - mount_point file system user

quota file update error for id id

• Description

An update to the user quotas file failed for the user ID.

The quotas file keeps track of the total number of blocks and inodes used by each

user, and also contains soft and hard limits for each user ID. The VX_FULLFSCK

flag is set in the super-block. If the super-block cannot be written, the file system is

disabled.

•Action

Unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full structural check. Check the

console log for I/O errors. If the disk has a hardware failure, it should be repaired

before the file system is mounted for write access.
