Unexpected Windows ERROR_NO_SYSTEM_RESOURCES in pwrite(), retrying...

[Ilgrank]

Hi
Today I found that menacing error in my snapraid log..
I've looked everywhere but no one seems to have ever experienced the same issue,nor I found any trace of it besides in Snapraid's source code.
I've checked and found no error in the disk log, nor in the windows logs.. what could it be?

Thanks!

Unexpected Windows ERROR_NO_SYSTEM_RESOURCES in pwrite(), retrying...

Hi Ilgrank,

funny error you've got there. In SR code it's handled in mingw.c (line 1697) and MSDN suggests to open the file with FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING (but I'm sure that would impact quite write performance). It's related to caching and the way it's currently handled in SR is fine (print error an try again till successful), though I'd say it's more a warning than an error. The way I see it, you can ignore it ;-)

Are you on Windows XP???

Hi Jens
Thanks for your reply

No, I'm on Windows 7
exploring the log I've found some
pread() error
as well, but mainly pwrites...

Knowing my data is at risk,it is not the kind of things I would take lightly until I really understand what's going on ..

(ie: i'll take some time to read the links you provided and try to understand what's the issue..)

again, thanks!

Hi Ilgrank,

You are not the first encountering this error:

At now SnapRAID just retry in such cases, as it seems the only possible strategy.

Ciao,
