Hmm, strange today I don't get any messages from sysstat anymore. Yes, but I am getting them on a Athlon MP new everything install. The messages were gone for a while and now they are back. Once stated for a day they will continue to midnight when the switch to a new day starts using a new file. Getting same message: strace /usr/lib/sa/sa1 1 1 output ... ... open("/proc/stat", O_RDONLY) = 3 fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0444, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xbf590000 read(3, "cpu 14870 1 12783 2507170\ncpu0 "..., 4096) = 688 read(3, "", 4096) = 0 close(3) = 0 munmap(0xbf590000, 4096) = 0 access("/var/log/sa/sa03", F_OK) = 0 open("/var/log/sa/sa03", O_RDWR|O_APPEND) = 3 read(3, "\377\302\37\0]!\10\1\0\0\0\0\17\0\0\0\230\357\276@\0\0"..., 229) = 229 write(2, "Cannot append data to that file\n", 32Cannot append data to that file ) = 32 exit_group(1) = ? From sysstat FAQ: Cannot append data to that file A> The internal structure of the data file does not allow sar to append data to it. The data file may come from another machine, or the components of the current box, such as the number of processors, may have changed. Use another data file, or delete current daily data file, and try again. Somebody can meet this situation when system with multiple processors has been booted with single processor kernel and smp kernel in the same day. Another problem is that FAQ is not included in /usr/share/doc/sysstat-%{version} and can only be found in src.rpm package. |
