Re: ontape: code -1 errno 5

Hi. Errno 5 is a I/O error (EIO in /usr/include/sys/errno.h) Try cleaning your tape device. [tsutoo@cspc08 ~]tsutoo930uc3% finderr 5 -5 I/O error. An operating-system error code with the meaning shown was unexpectedly returned to the database server. Look for other operating-system error messages that might give more information. In particular, try to determine what device produced the error and whether that device held the database or some other kind of file. -- Tsutomu Ogiwara from Tokyo Japan.
