Let me preface this by stating "I am very new to the Unix/Linux
platform"
=20
    After several weeks of not being able to perform a backup on one of
my Linux servers and intermittent failures on a UNIX box we've found the
problem.  It has nothing to do with protocols or sockets.  I have also
been working with Veritas for a month.  It is embarrassing but here is
the true problem.  If the disk used by Veritas to generate logs on the
client is full the "socket write failed(24)" is generated.  Veritas was
completely unaware of the condition.  My question is why would a disk
full condition generate a socket error?

Thanks
