System name: deathtongue
Type and version: SPARC/IPX 7.6P
Display type: cgthree
What were you trying to do?
list a file
What's wrong:
this is really strange:
7:37 48 ~/% purge
7:37 49 ~/% where ll
ll is aliased to ls -la
7:37 50 ~/% ls core
core
7:37 51 ~/% ll core
-rw------- 1 mkgray root 2119776 Dec 9 07:37 core
7:38 52 ~/% strings core |more
7:38 53 ~/% more core
7:38 54 ~/% ll core
-rw------- 1 mkgray root 0 Dec 9 06:27 core
What happened? I believe the coredump was produced by the program
'purge'. I am near, but not over quota. Certainly a 2 meg core file would put
me over. I ran strings and somehow the file disappeared. AND, the
last modification time got set back an hour and ten minutes. What in the world
is going on? Something apparently produced the corefile at 6:27, based on
this message in my console.
06:27 afs: failed to store file in volume 536972170 (partition full)
In any case. What happened to that 2 meg corefile? Where did it come from
and where did it go?
What should have happened:
Something a little less confusing.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
