Error Messages for Component ID 0653

0653-309 Cannot open the directory Name

Possible Causes

• Access to a directory using the ls command was denied because of incorrect user permission.

Procedures for Recovery

• Determine the current directory ownership and obtain the proper user permissions.

1. Enter the ls -ld DirectoryName command to determine ownership and permissions for the directory. See "File and Directory Access Modes" in AIX Version 4.3 System User's Guide: Communications and Networks for more detailed information.
2. If you do not have access permission to a file or directory, enter the su command to switch to the root user or owner of the file or directory. Then use the chmod command to give yourself the proper permissions, or ask the owner or system administrator to give you the proper permissions.

0653-341 The file FileName does not exist

Possible Causes

• You attempted to access a file or a directory that is not in your current directory or in the directory that you specified.

Procedures for Recovery

• Check your command to ensure that you did not incorrectly enter the file name, directory, or path name.
• Check for unmounted file systems.
  1. Issue the mount command to ensure that all file systems are mounted.
  2. Use the mount command to mount the file system you need.
• Replace the missing file.
  • Copy the libcfg.a library file located on your /lib directory from another system that has the same release level as your current system, either through the network by running the ftp command or through a diskette by using the backup and restore commands.
  • If you use the ftp command, use the bin subcommand. When you restore the file, make sure that it preserves the permission code, the ownership, and the location of your previous file.
• Reenter your command.

0653-343 Cannot read DirectoryName

Possible Causes

• You used the ls command to list the contents of a directory for which you do not have read access permission.

Procedures for Recovery

• Establish read access permissions for the directory.
  1. Enter the ls -l ParentDirectory command, where ParentDirectory is the directory that contains the directory for which you are determining access permissions. Determine the owner and the current access permissions for the directory on which you want to use the ls command.
  2. Use the su command to change to the root user or to a user that has read permission for the required directory.

     Note: If you are unable to change users with the su command, ask your system administrator or the owner of the required directory to change the permissions of the directory to provide you with read access.

  3. Reenter the ls command to display the contents of the required directory.

0653-401 Cannot rename String1 to String2

Possible Causes

• The source file or source directory you attempted to move or copy does not exist.
• You do not have read and write permissions to move or copy the source file or directory you specified.

Procedures for Recovery

• Verify the location and the name of the source file or directory.
  1. Use the ls command to verify that the file or directory to be moved or copied exists. Remember, AIXwindows is case-sensitive: Characters and spaces must be exact.
  2. Enter the cp or mv command using a valid file or directory name to copy or move the file.
• Obtain the proper read or write permissions.
  1. Use the ls -al command to determine access permissions of each directory or file involved. See "Understanding File and Directory Access Modes" in AIX Version 4.3 System Management Guide: Communications and Networks for more detailed information.
  2. If you do not have access permission to a file or directory, enter the su command to switch to the root user or owner of the file or directory. Then use the chmod command to give yourself the proper permissions, or ask the owner or system administrator to give you the proper permissions.
  3. Enter the cp or mv command to copy or move the file.

0653-603 Cannot remove directory DirectoryName

Possible Causes

• You attempted to remove a directory that contains files.

Procedures for Recovery

• Remove the files in the directory and try again.
• Force the deletion of the directory and its files.

  Run the rm command with the -r flag as follows:

  rm -r DirectoryName 

0653-609 Cannot remove FileName

Possible Causes

• You attempted to remove a file for which you do not have write permission by overriding the write protection.

Procedures for Recovery

• Establish write permissions on the file.
  1. Determine the current ownership of the file or directory by entering the ls -dl Name command, where Name specifies the file or directory.
  2. Follow the procedure described in "Recovering from File and Directory Permission Errors".

0653-611 Directory DirectoryName is not empty

Possible Causes

• You attempted to remove a directory with the rmdir command, but the directory contains files.

Procedures for Recovery

• Remove the files in the directory and run the rmdir command again.
• Force the deletion of the directory and its files.

  Run the rm command with the -r flag as follows:

  rm -r DirectoryName 

0653-650 Cannot locate the temporary directory or /tmp

Possible Causes

• The sort command could not create its temporary files because the /usr/tmp and /tmp directories do not exist.
• The sort command could not create its temporary files because you do not have write permission to the /usr/tmp and /tmp directories.
• You used the sort command with the -T flag to specify a directory that does not exist.
• You used the sort command with the -T flag to specify a directory for which you do not have write permission.

Procedures for Recovery

• Create the /usr/tmp and /tmp directories using the mkdir command.
• Establish write permission to the /usr/tmp or /tmp directories.
  1. Use the su command to change to the root user. If you already own the /usr/tmp or /tmp directories, you can omit this step.
  2. Enter the chmod 777 /tmp or the chmod 777 /usr/tmp command to gain write permission to the specified directory.

     Note: The chmod 777 command gives read, write, and execute permissions to all users. If you do not want this, see "Understanding File and Directory Access Modes" in AIX Version 4.3 System Management Guide: Communications and Networks for more information about files and directories.

• Use the -T flag to specify an existing directory.

  Note: Ensure that you have write permission to the specified directory. See the following procedure for information on how to get write permission to a directory.

• Establish write permission to the directory specified by the -T flag.

  As the root user or as a user with proper permissions, enter the chmod 777 /DirectoryName command to give yourself write permission to the directory specified by the -T flag.

0653-657 A write error occurred while sorting
0653-657 A write error occurred while merging

Possible Causes

• You used the sort command, and the file system became full while the file was being processed.
• Write permission to the directory containing the temporary files was removed while the sort was in progress.

Procedures for Recovery

• Ensure that there is enough disk space for the sort to be completed.

  Enter the df FileSystem command while the sort command is processing the file. The df command displays information about space available on a file system.

  The sort command creates temporary files in either the /usr/tmp directory or the /tmp directory. Writing is unsuccessful if the file system containing the temporary directory becomes full. If you are not sure which directory is used for temporary file storage, enter the sort -T /usr/tmp FileName command to create the temporary files in the desired directory.

  If the sort fails because the file system containing the temporary directory is full, do one of the following:

  • Use a directory in a file system that has more space.
  • Increase the file system size using the chfs command.
• Verify that you have write permission on the directory containing the temporary files.

  Enter the ls -la DirectoryName command to list permissions. Use the chmod 777 command to change write permissions, if necessary.
