Digital UNIX -ALPHA 4000

Hello,

Can somebody tell me what is this error listed in the comming up system process and from time to time after that (in the console log).
Nothing wrong seems to happen; the machine is running the Oracle 8.03 Server with no problem; there are 3 disks; rz8 (a, swap,c), rz9(c- entire disk), rz10(c-entire disk)
File system=AdvFS

AdvFS I/O Error
Volume: /dev/rz8a
tag: 0xfffffffa:0000
page:110
block: 10448
block count: 16
type of operation: read
error: 5

Thank you in advance,
ge

There is a disk error on drive rz8 in partition a. This is most likely the partition that makes up your root domain. Check the binary error logs using dia, uerf, or ca depending on your version of DUX - it should report the exact block of the error so you can assign it out.

Sounds like an old system. Still, check if you hold a hardware support contract with Compaq. You might be able to get the disk replaced.

Luck!
