I am currently working with a SCO Open Server Enterprise System, release 3.0.0 and am having difficulties. My original problem was to restore files from tape. Method of backup is unknown, although I believe TAR was not used. I tried using the following command to restore the information on the tape: restore -c-t-d/dev/rct0 After issuing this command, I started receiving the following error message on the root terminal: NOTICE:calloc - No space on EAFS dev hd(1/40) This message kept repeating. I rebooted the system to see if that would clear it up. After rebooting, the error message starts repeating after memory is allocated for the system. It takes a long time for the system to boot in multi-user mode. When it does boot in multi-user mode, I can only use the virtual terminals connected to the root terminal. Trying to connect across the network doesn't work. If at any time I try to perform a function that requires the smallest amount of starage, I receive the error. Even trying to pipe 'ls' through 'more' doesn't work. As well, 'df' doesn't work. When I boot the machine in single user mode, the same problem exists. I was able to issue a 'du' command and capture it in a file. There are no excessively large files in the system. As well, there are no new files in the system either. I'm figuring that the restore created new I-notes that are taking up system resources. As well, seeing as I believe that I cannot connect remotely, that it's due to the fact that the system can't allocate memory for tye TTY. I alsao do not know if the file system is the same as when the backup was taken, and if this imakes any effect on the restoration of the data. Other error messages that occur during boot are (these are not precise, as I didn't write them down) Error: do not know what is current directory Cannot change TTY file for terminal. Any help, direction, etc. would be helpful. Thanks in advance Helen
