Meaning of copy error 83 ?

Hi,
yesterday, I tried to copy a big file (380mb) to one of my SFS/02 volume (Medias: on the capture below) where 9gb space was available.

I encountered a "createbnode: findbnode() says key xxxxx already exists!" and Copy error 83.

This error occured the first time when I had 4% space left (4gb available). But occurs after everytime even with more space available.

As I was not able to copy more big files on this volume, I formatted it and I'm restoring my data...

I had a wrong blocksize (1024) before to format, I took the opportunity to apply a 512 bloxksize.

Is somebody know if the copy error codes are referenced somewhere ?
And is it a know problem with SFS/02 partition with a blocksize > 512 ?









Thank you for your reply

I very much doubt your old blocksize could have caused the problem.

With SFS, the word has always been that you should use 512 as blocksize, because there's no benefit in making it bigger. But also no harm (apart from wasting some space some of the time).

I don't know what the error code 83 means, and I also don't know of any place to find out. But the error message basically tells you that your logical disk structure is corrupted, and that the filesystem couldn't fix it itself. And since it keeps coming, the fault is not in some temporary memory-cached representation of (part of) the disk structure, but in the saved metadata on the disk.

So you have done the only possible thing (with SFS\2): Reformat.

Hopefully it has helped.

Best regards,

Niels

"I don't know what the error code 83 means, and I also don't know of any place to find out."

As I have reformated, it's by curiosity, maybe the owner/maintainer of SFS/02 could know if a "Messages and codes Guide for SFS/02" exist ?

Is it Hyperion ?

"Hopefully it has helped."

Yes, thank you for your explanations.

I believe he just doesn't care about AmigaOS anymore so you may never find an answer for SFS errors.

@zzd10h

The old source of SFS (version 1.84) was released on SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/smartfilesystem/

AFAIK, the OS4 version is based on it.

Looking at line 43 of SFS/FS/fs.h:



Which would match your first error message, that something (internal) is wrong with an bnode in an btree.

edit: If it's and DOS error, you would find it in SDK:include/include_h/dos/errors.h

Quote:If it were, you could also type "Fault 83" in a Shell and get wiser. But apparently, it isn't, so you don't (get any wiser, that is).

But that old header seems to be the best info we can get.

@Elwood

Sad that the most used (I think) filesystem is no more maintained.

Therefore, no more OS4 fs are maintained, right ?

@Gazelle
Thank you for your research (even if I don't know what this "INTERR_BTREE" means ;) )

@Nbache
you are right, it doesn't seems to be a DOS error, in error.h, errors begin at number 101.

17/0.RAM Disk:> Fault 83
Erreur 83 : Erreur 83

It's a question for Hyperion, I'm afraid.

Me too, I'm afraid

Don't panic
