039 WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 039: V-2-39: vx_writesuper - file system
super-block write error
• Description
An attempt to write the file system super block failed due to a disk I/O
error. If the file system was being mounted at the time, the mount will
fail. If the file system was mounted at the time and the full fsck flag was
being set, the file system will probably be disabled and Message 031 will
also be printed. If the super-block was being written as a result of a sync
operation, no other action is taken.
• Action
Resolve the condition causing the disk error. If the error was the result of
a temporary condition (such as accidentally turning off a disk or a loose
cable), correct the condition. Check for loose cables, etc. Unmount the file
system and use fsck to run a full structural check.
If an actual disk error occurred, make a backup of the file system, replace
or reformat the disk drive, and restore the file system from backups.
Consult the documentation specific to your system for information on how
to recover from disk errors. The disk driver should have printed a
message that may provide more information.
040 WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 040: V-2-40: vx_dqbad - mount_point file
system user quota file update error for id id
• Description
An update to the user quotas file failed for the user ID.
The quotas file keeps track of the total number of blocks and inodes used
by each user, and also contains soft and hard limits for each user ID. The
VX_FULLFSCK flag is set in the super-block. If the super-block cannot be
written, the file system is disabled.
• Action
Unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full structural check.
Check the console log for I/O errors. If the disk has a hardware failure, it
should be repaired before the file system is mounted for write access.
