I know that I need to do a restore. Any Ideas on how for Linux?

This error results when you try to grab a block of contiguous frames.
You may have 28GB available, but it's spread out over thousands of
smaller blocks of non-contiguous frames. What's important is the size
of the file that you tried to create when this error occurred. Use
"povf (A" to see a list of blocks (fromframe-toframe:numframes) and
you will probably not see a block of numframes that is enough to
satisfy your request.

- Do not use the Reserve option.
- Do not break and terminate an operation like this.
- Re-evaluate the file-size that you tried to create.

The system is not in any critical state. It's probably fine. It just
couldn't create the large file. If the file wasn't that large then
you do indeed have serious fragmentation issues. Get all users off
system then do a full save and full restore: After getting at least
one full/verified backup, use ":files" at TCL to initiate the restore.
Or shutdown D3 and from "d3 -0", rather then hitting "x" to boot, use
"f" to full restore.

I can't stress enough how significant this operation is - be sure your
media is verified and that you have all of your accounts including any
that may have been DX'd temporarily. Do not initiate the full restore
unless you know you have all data.

I'm wondering why Steve isn't handling this stuff...

Thanks for the reply Tony.

We only have a few Linux installs and I was out of town for a few days,
and I want to get everyone in support used to getting involved in this
great resource.

Thanks again.
