DVD error (but still server related) - Resource temporarily unavailable
Hi all,
Though this may appear inappropriate here,it still is related to server (I think). I have a script kicked off by cron every night to make backups to Blu-ray. But for the past couple of days, I see the following error for the dvd+rw-format -b /dev/dvd command: Code:
blanking .:-[ FORMAT UNIT failed with SK=2h/ASC=04h/ACQ=08h]: Resource temporarily unavailable Has anybody got any idea how to start investigating things? My platform is CentOS 5.5. Thanks |
Update on this. I tried moving the back up time (the disc writing time in effect) 30 mins later. It works now. But the question remains. Why it failed? How can I investigate why it failed?
Still looking for ideas. Thanks |
Bad news. It failed again with the same message. Still struggling to find what it is.
Any ideas people? Thanks |
Damn me. Here is excerpt from the actual code that does the backup script
Quote:
I have the BK_DATE_FILE variable declared in the ShellUtils.shl. In this case, I had done it only on the development workspace and not in the live one. So the shell script had a blank for BK_DATE_FILE. I now updated the live workspace and it works. If somebody needs a better explanation, please let me know the exact thing you want to know; I shall try to answer as best as I can. Thanks for your time. |
