ZLM 7.3 Imaging Halts With "Unknown error 32"

  • 7004652
  • 12-Oct-2009
  • 30-Apr-2012

Environment

Novell ZENworks 7.3 Linux Management - ZLM7.3
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11

Situation

While trying to make an image, the following error occurs (sometime during the image process--either in the beginning or sometime before the image process is complete):
Unknown error 32
 

Resolution

The filesystem(s) of the server being imaged contained some corruption (Linux host).  Run a fsck on each filesystem and make the image again.
 
There are many ways to force a fsck on the filesystem.  A few examples follow:
  • shutdown -F ( See man page for more details (man 8 shutdown ))
  • touch /forcefsck then reboot
  • Unmount the filesystem and run fsck against the unmounted device ( See man page for more details (man fsck )) :
    • umount /path/to/device
    • fsck.<filesystem type> /dev/<device> (ie. fsck.ext3 /dev/hdb2)
