Patch Name: PHCO_12066 Patch Description: s700_800 10.10 fsck_hfs(1M) cumulative patch Creation Date: 97/08/07 Post Date: 97/08/19 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.10 s800: 10.10 Products: N/A Filesets: OS-Core.UX-CORE Automatic Reboot?: No Status: General Superseded Critical: Yes PHCO_12066: PANIC Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHCO_12066 Symptoms: PHCO_12066: Fsck may corrupt a filesystem containing continuation inodes by clearing the wrong continuation inode. The filesystem will be marked clean. If this inode is a continuation inode, and the base inode is accessed once the file system is mounted, it can result in a system panic. Defect Description: PHCO_12066: The problem appears when an inode has been corrupted that has a continuation inode. If the inode's continuation inode information is corrupt, it is possible that a random inode will be cleared. This problem can cause system inconsistencies, and a subsequent panic. The problem is caused by missing braces after an if-statement, causing an inode to be cleared even though the variable was never set to the correct inode value.

Back up your system before installing a patch. 2. Login as root. 3. Copy the patch to the /tmp directory. 4. Move to the /tmp directory and unshar the patch: cd /tmp sh PHCO_12066 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHCO_12066.depot 5b. For a homogeneous NFS Diskless cluster run swcluster on the server to install the patch on the server and the clients: swcluster -i -b This will invoke swcluster in the interactive mode and force all clients to be shut down. WARNING: All cluster clients must be shut down prior to the patch installation. Installing the patch while the clients are booted is unsupported and can lead to serious problems. The swcluster command will invoke an swinstall session in which you must specify: alternate root path - default is /export/shared_root/OS_700 source depot path - /tmp/PHCO_12066.depot To complete the installation, select the patch by choosing "Actions -> Match What Target Has" and then "Actions -> Install" from the Menubar. 5c. For a heterogeneous NFS Diskless cluster: - run swinstall on the server as in step 5a to install the patch on the cluster server. - run swcluster on the server as in step 5b to install the patch on the cluster clients. By default swinstall will archive the original software in /var/adm/sw/patch/PHCO_12066. If you do not wish to retain a copy of the original software, you can create an empty file named /var/adm/sw/patch/PATCH_NOSAVE. Warning: If this file exists when a patch is installed, the patch cannot be deinstalled. Please be careful when using this feature. It is recommended that you move the PHCO_12066.text file to /var/adm/sw/patch for future reference. To put this patch on a magnetic tape and install from the tape drive, use the command: dd if=/tmp/PHCO_12066.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: None
