Síntomas
- The
"Text file busy"error: error usually occurs when attempting to execute a file that is currently open for writing. - The
"Text file busy"error (ETXTBSY) in Linux, and Unix-like systems, indicates that an attempt was made to modify or remove an executable file that is currently being executed by the kernel.
Causa
- The
" Text file busy"is reported by the operating system. - A process has a lock on the file, and the client agent cannot back it up.
- This is like the Windows client message.
Code 32: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
Resolución
Troubleshooting :->fuser <open directory with .lock file> (Ex : - fuser /var/tmp/netcd.lock) – This Command is used to identify which process is holding the file open.
Then it will return the Process ID which is running & holding up the file. ( Ex : - /var/tmp/netcd.lock: 32440328)
-> kill -9 PID (Ex : - kill -9 32440328)
>> Then try to Trigger the Backup & it will be Successful.
Información adicional
Also Note that, .lock files are temporary files. They are not normally backed up.
If this file must be backed up, then find which process has a lock on this file and resolve it from there.
