QFS won't error writing files to a SAN

Hello,
This is probably a simple thing to do but I have not been able to figure out how to do it. We have a SAN up and running QFS with 4 clients connected to it. I have a Java application that is writing files to this SAN and is running on one of the clients. If I unplug the fiber cable that connects that client to the SAN nothing fails. The file continues to grow larger. The Java app continues to run. And actually it's been running for about 3 hours now without failing and the file keeps getting larger. The file can also be seen and seen to grow from the other clients connected to the SAN. This seems pretty miraculous if you ask me!! I understand that QFS is using a caching mechanism by default. Sun told us to try setting the mount to do forcedirectio(I think this is what it is by memory). However they said that if it can't write directly it defaults back to cache anyway.
I can see this behavior being really good for a lot of applications. But, my problem is that I have applications running on all of the clients that are writing very large amounts of data almost continuously to the SAN. If there is any problem writing, whether the SAN just dies or we lose fiber connections or fiber cards or a LUN dies or whatever, I need the applications to be able to failover to an entirely different SAN without a single hickup. The way I thought I'd do this is by catching an I/O exception in the Java application but since QFS never gives an error I can't do this. Is there any way to force QFS to give me an error when there is a problem? Or is there a different way I should go about this. I am relatively new to SAN's so any help is greatly appreciated.

  • Can't install iTunes-  error writing files to files to a folder     -_-

    When I try and install iTunes 8, it installs most of it but then comes up with
    "Error writing file to C:/Program Files/Common Files/Apple/Mobile Device Support/SyncServices/Schemas/Contacts.syncschema/Contents/Resources/zh_CN.lproj /Conflicts.Strings. verifty that you have access to that directory.
    I got my iPod for christmas and I love it but iTunes has dissappointed me. It won't install, what do I do?

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Why is Premiere 6 giving a "Error writing file (disk full?)" message?

    Hello helpful experts,
    I'm using Premiere 6 on a Windows 7 machine.
    I have a file imported in to the timeline and it is set to play in reverse via the speed setting being set to -100 and it plays back in the preview window correctly, in reverse, when I click the play button.
    But when I do a  "File>Export Timeline>Movie" command I get an error message saying "An error occurred while making the movie. Error writing file (disk full?)"... but my hard drive is not nearly full, with over 30 gigs left open on it... and my RAM usage gadget shows over half of my RAM capacity is unused.
    Now previously, weeks ago on a different project, I was getting this same error message for a while when I would hit enter to preview my movie on the timeline (but that worked itself out somehow and eventually stopped giving me that error message).  But when I went to save and export, then I would not get the error message... now, it is just the opposite... I'm now getting the error message when trying to do an export and save the movie.
    And also now when I hit enter to preview, as opposed to just clicking the play button on the preview window, Premiere is going through the process of saving the movie since it is saving a temporary preview file... hopefully, since I'm getting this error message, I can find the temporary preview file and save it as my exported AVI file.
    But I still shouldn't be getting this error message when trying to save, or when trying to preview, as I did for a while a couple of weeks ago.
    Does anyone know about the erroneous error message that says, "An error occurred while making the movie. Error writing file (disk full?)"
    Thanks,
    numetro

    I am unable to complete captures because I get a message
    that says "capture stopped because disk was full." What
    does this mean?

    If you are using a Pinnacle card, a possible solution to
    this is to right click on the recycle bin, and set the
    percentage on your media drive to less than 2%.
    There a several other possible causes as well, but you
    need to supply some info about your system. How are you
    capturing and what format is your video? How big is
    your hard drive?
    Jeff Schell - 09:57am Apr 17, 2003 Pacific (#2 of 2)   
    this is one of my favorite error messages. Basically,
    you've chosen an incorrect setting in your DV settings.
    (Odds are you have DV settings). If so, read on:
    1. The DV format is very rigid. Meaning that if you
       make changes to the format, it cannot export as
       requested, because your movie file must match every
       single spec exactly.
    2. When Premiere goes to export a project, the DV codec
       says "Whoa. I can't do anything, because the settings
       don't match."
    3. Then Premiere comes back to you and has to report an
       error. (Don't shoot the messenger). Unfortunately,
       Premiere doesn't know why it wasn't able to export a
       movie. So it says to you, "Um... I can't make the movie.
       Um... maybe your hard drives are full?"
    It's a complete guess. And has nothing to do with your harddrives.
    Check your project settings and/or your export settings. Make
    sure you have chosen one of the "presets" that will specify
    every correct setting for you. Make sure it is one of the DV
    presets, if you are using DV video, or make sure it is one of
    the presets supplied by your capture card manufacturer (in this
    case I'm going to guess Pinnacle or Matrox.)
    To choose a preset, go to Project > Settings Viewer, and then
    click on the project settings column, and then click 'load' to
    load a correct preset. Do the same with export settings.

  • Premiere 6 error writing file - disk full?

    have premiere installed on new windows 7 pc. plenty of space. edited short (minute) video. went to render and get this error message saying error occurred while making the movie, eoor writing file...disk full?  saw forums on settings...am clueless as to where i went wrong? i uploaded via windows movie maker as avi? so discouraged. could anyone give me a clue as to whether i can do this??? and how??? thanks for any ideas.

    I don't have the particular notes file where I am (and it's so old I may not even have it at home) but for P6 that "disk full" message may mean the disk is full... and it may be a complete GUESS since "something happened" that P6 can't handle, so it throws up a message just to let you know that something went wrong
    I do know from past experience that P6 does NOT like AVI type 1, so you might check around to find a converter to convert your Type 1 file to an AVI Type 2 file with 16bit 48khz sound
    >uploaded via windows movie maker as avi
    What does that mean?
    Do you mean you have a tape based DV camcorder, and you are transferring files to your computer via Firewire?
    This is aimed at Premiere Pro, but may help

  • Writing files is not supported on this device (smart camera 1722)

    Hi,
    I have a smart camera NI 1722 and I want to save images that I aquire. I use the "IMAQ Write file 2.vi" and I always get this error: "Writing files is not supported on this device". 
    Is the smartcam really doesn't support to write images in a folder? I've tried to change the path (on the smartcam and on our server) but I always get the same error.
    I use LabVIEW Real-Time 8.5.1, LabVIEW 8.5.1, NI Vision 8.5 etc (all the lastest versions of LabVIEW).
    Thank you for helping me,
    Stephanie

    Hello
    If you already flattened the image, you can now save it on the hard disk of the smart camera.  To load the image, you will have to un-flatten with an image again.  See the attached document to see the block diagrams.
    I did it for a template in a pattern matching program and worked!!!
    Good Luck
