A reboot cuts down on the number of warnings xfsdump encounters. An example run of xfsdump is as follows: /usr/sbin/xfsdump: using file dump (drive_simple) strategy /usr/sbin/xfsdump: version 3.0.4 (dump format 3.0) - Running single-threaded /usr/sbin/xfsdump: level 0 dump of ldslnx01:/srv /usr/sbin/xfsdump: dump date: Sat Dec 31 15:25:42 2011 /usr/sbin/xfsdump: session id: b56b3cd7-30d6-44b4-a8a4-e131ee70b60d /usr/sbin/xfsdump: session label: "data" /usr/sbin/xfsdump: ino map phase 1: constructing initial dump list /usr/sbin/xfsdump: ino map phase 2: skipping (no pruning necessary) /usr/sbin/xfsdump: ino map phase 3: skipping (only one dump stream) /usr/sbin/xfsdump: ino map construction complete /usr/sbin/xfsdump: estimated dump size: 115786343168 bytes /usr/sbin/xfsdump: WARNING: no media label specified /usr/sbin/xfsdump: creating dump session media file 0 (media 0, file 0) /usr/sbin/xfsdump: dumping ino map /usr/sbin/xfsdump: dumping directories /usr/sbin/xfsdump: dumping non-directory files /usr/sbin/xfsdump: WARNING: could not get list of non-root attributes for nondir ino 234778: Cannot allocate memory (12) /usr/sbin/xfsdump: WARNING: could not get list of non-root attributes for nondir ino 234813: Cannot allocate memory (12) /usr/sbin/xfsdump: WARNING: could not get list of non-root attributes for nondir ino 1828443: Cannot allocate memory (12) /usr/sbin/xfsdump: WARNING: could not get list of root attributes for nondir ino 1828443: Cannot allocate memory (12) /usr/sbin/xfsdump: WARNING: could not get list of non-root attributes for nondir ino 2234019: Cannot allocate memory (12) /usr/sbin/xfsdump: ending media file /usr/sbin/xfsdump: media file size 115563111376 bytes /usr/sbin/xfsdump: dump size (non-dir files) : 115472209824 bytes /usr/sbin/xfsdump: dump complete: 4099 seconds elapsed /usr/sbin/xfsdump: Dump Status: SUCCESS Could someone please explain what is going on, and why a freshly rebooted system would result in less / no errors?
