Configuration:
GroupWise directories on an NSS Volume
Situation
ERROR: "I/O error while scanning input queue" in the MTA Log files
ERROR: "Warning File DomainDirectory is over 2G in size, errno(75)" while running dbcopy
Resolution
-
Browse to the NSS volume from the Linux Session and create a new file by typing "touch test".
-
Type "ls -i test" and press Enter. The output should be something similar to the following
2156116111 test -
Note down the number and convert it into hex using any scientific calculator.
-
If the hex is greater than 7FFFFFFF, then perform a Pool Rebuild with rezid option as shown as follows
ravsui rebuild VOL1 --rezid=0x7fffffff

Cause
A ZID is a unique file number assigned to a file or a directory on an NSS Volume. Howver, if the Volume has been threre for a long time, GroupWise being a 32-bit Application cannot understand ZIDs greater than 7FFFFFFF and errors out. ReZID option for a pool rebuild changes the ZIDs for all the files on the volumes, thus freeing ZIDs so they are available for creating new files and Directories.
