Salue Cedric,
Most likely the disk full event resulted in data garbage written to the
file. What really is written in an event like this depends on your
underlaying OS. As I do not see the corrupt file header message I assume,
that the begin of the file seems ok. What you can do is read/rewrite the
file, which results in the same error messages below, but writes a new
file with the clean records, found so far. nfdump tries to resync the data
stream as good as possible, but all the damaged records are skipped and
are lost and can not be reconstructed.

To rebuild the file, simply do a ./nfdump -r file -w newfile
and then rename newfile back to file.

hello,



I've got a problem, since this night, on my nfsen/nfdump configuration.

Here is the log message I can read if I run this command:

/usr/local/bin/nfdump  -R
/data/nfsen/profiles/live/cs7204/nfcapd.200701230010:nfcapd.200701231000
-n 20 -s srcip/bytes 'in if 1 or in if 5 or in if 4 or inif 9'

Before this problem, the data partition was full, could it be the
reason of the data files corruption ?

Is there a way to rebuild them ?

Thanks for your replies
