Hi,
Sorry for the late summary. As the error does not happen
regularly, I need to wait for a little longer to see if the
problem will re-occur again.
First thanks for the reply from David B. Harrington.
After I had
fsck /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s5
it seems that the remote ufsdump does not show the dev_seek
error so far.
Note. "fsck /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s5" does not work as our /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s5
is over 2G. It had already mentioned in fsck man page.
Thanks.
Regards,
Alan S. H. Lam
