Problem Description
|
RecoverEDGE fails when attempting to generate RecoverEDGE boot
/filesystem diskettes, generating an error referencing /etc/pipe.
ex: 'Error Flipping Pipe' or 'Error Performing Pipe Flip'
|
|
Cause
|
SCO UNIX 3.2.2 does not have a file in /etc named pipe.
|
|
Solution
|
The pipe subsystem needs this file to perform its pipe operations.
Create the file /etc/pipe. The file should have
a length of zero, permissions should be set to 755 (-rwxr-xr-x), owner should be
'root' and group should be 'other': (perform the following while logged in as root)
>/etc/pipe
chmod 755 /etc/pipe
chgrp other /etc/pipe
