cpio: Bad magic number/header.

Cause
A cpio(1) archive has either become corrupted or was written out with an
incompatible version of cpio(1).
Action
Use the -k option to cpio(1) to skip I/O errors and corrupted file headers. This
might permit you to extract other files from the cpio(1) archive. To extract files with
corrupted headers, try editing the archive with a binary editor such as emacs(1). Each
cpio(1) file header contains a filename as a string.

cpio : can’t read input : end of file encountered
prior to expected end of archive.


Cause
This message appears when trying to read a multi-volume floppy in bar format
using the following command:

# cpio -id -H bar -I /dev/diskette0

Action

kill /usr/sbin/vold by running /etc/init.d/volmgt stop and use the
device name /dev/rfd0.

Cross-device link


Cause

An attempt was made to make a hard link to a file on another device, such as on
another file system.

Action

Establish a symbolic link using ln -s instead. Symbolic links are permitted across
file system boundaries.

Technical Notes
The symbolic name for this error is EXDEV, errno=18.

"D"

data access exception

Cause

This message appears when running an old version of the operating system that
does not support new hardware or when running an operating system that is not
configured for new hardware. It can also be the result of an incorrectly installed
DSIMMs or a disk problem.

Action

Upgrade your operating system to a version that supports the new hardware or
machine architecture.
############################################################

Data fault

Cause

This error is a kind of BAD TRAP that usually causes a system panic. When this
message appears after a BAD TRAP message, a system text or data access fault
probably occurred.2 In the absence of a BAD TRAP message, this message might
indicate a user text or data access fault. Data loss is possible, if the problem occurs
other than at boot time.

Action

Make sure the machine can reboot, then check the log file /var/adm/messages for
hints about what went wrong.
############################################################

Deadlock situation detected/avoided

Cause

A programming deadlock situation was detected and avoided.

Action

If the system had not detected and avoided a deadlock, a piece of software would
have hung. Run the program again. The deadlock might not reoccur.

Technical Notes

This error usually relates to file and record locking, but can also apply to mutexes,
semaphores, condition variables, and read/write locks.
The symbolic name for this error is EDEADLK, errno=45.
