## Read or Write Errors in XFS File System

This error indicates a problem reading or writing XFS filesystem meta-data. It may be caused by a disk failure or it may indicate a SCSI connection/termination/cabling problem.

| Warning: The following procedure should not be performed on file systems that are mounted.

To resolve this:

- Review messages in `/var/adm/SYSLOG`

- Use the `hinv` command to see the hardware inventory and verify that all the disks on your machine are visible.

- Make sure disk cabling termination procedures are followed according to your Owners Guide.

- Unmount the file system by selecting the “System” menu from the Toolchest, then selecting the “FileSystem Manager.”

- Verify the integrity of the filesystem with `xfs_check`, for example:

      xfs_check /dev/dsk/xlv/xlv0

More information about XFS can be found in the book Irix Admin: Disks and Filesystems.

If the problem persists, contact your System Administrator or your service provider.
