error while running Filemon

[raztaboule]

hi,
when i do :
filemon -o fmon.out -v -u -O all

after a few seconds it returns :
trc_rdwr: op doesn't match SVC type
/dev/systrctl: There is a request to a device or address that does not exist.

and then stop .

any ideas ?

And if you try just "touch" a file on the same volume - will it succeed ?

Long live king Moshiach !

yes it does !
in fact it also send the message report completed and produces the result in fmon.out.

It is a device. Instead of using touch to create a regular file, you should use mknod and create the device file:

mknod /dev/systrctl c 5 1

The permissions are rw-rw-rw and the ower:group is root:system

This would be the proper way to do it.

 

[raztaboule]

ls -l  /dev/systrctl 
crw-rw-rw- 1 root system  5,  1 Feb 04 2003  /dev/systrctl

I have try with just
-O lv,vm,pv
and it works at least one minute before i stop it.
When i try :
-O lv,vm,pv,lf
I receive the message send in my first post.

I thought it was perhaps related to the messages " Trace kernel buffers overflowed, x missed entries " but it also happends when buffers are not overflowed.

I will check for a bug on filemon at IBM site.

thanks for your help.
