Interrupted system call
Cause
The user issued an interrupt signal (usually Control-c) while the system was in the
middle of executing a system call. When network service is slow, interrupting cd(1)
to a remote-mounted directory can produce this message.
Action
Proceed with your work, this message is purely informational.
Technical Notes
An asynchronous signal (such as interrupt or quit), which a program was set up to
catch, occurred during an internal system call. If execution is resumed after
processing the signal, it will appear as if the interrupted programming function
returned this error condition, so the program might exit with an incorrect error
message.
The symbolic name for this error is EINTR, errno=4.
Invalid argument
Cause
An invalid parameter was specified that the system cannot interpret. For example,
trying to mount an uncreated filesystem, printing without sufficient system support,
or providing an undefined signal to a signal(3C) library function, can all produce
this message.
Action
If you see this message when you are trying to mount a filesystem, make sure that
you have run newfs(1M) to create the filesystem. If you see this message when you
are trying to read a diskette, make sure that the diskette was properly formatted with
fdformat(1), either in DOS format ( pcfs(7FS)) or as a UFS filesystem. If you see
this message while you are trying to print, make sure that the print service is
configured correctly.
