Now I ran into another issue:
I can't write files to the NVRAM. The 801
IOS (tm) C800 Software (C800-K9OSY6-MW), Version 12.3(15a), RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2) ROM: TinyROM version 1.4(1) Cisco C801 (MPC850) processor (revision 1) with 56024K bytes of virtual memory.
8K bytes of non-volatile configuration memory
reports failures of the kind:
router#dir nvram: Directory of nvram:/
1 -rw- 7331 startup-config 2 ---- 0 private-config 3 -rw- 7331 underlying-config
No space information available
*Mar 1 00:41:44.629: %SYS-4-NV_BLOCK_INITFAIL: Unable to initialize the geometry of nvram
A hint at Cisco for this error message recommends:
"Explanation The software has detected that it failed to initialize the NVRAM block geometry (a part of the NVRAM that hosts non-configuration data files). Typically, these files are used by SNMP to store and retrieve non-configuration persistent data across a system reload. This condition may occur when the entire NVRAM is packed with the configuration, and the newer version of software that supports this feature could not find enough room in the NVRAM to initialize the block file system.
Recommended Action Reduce the configurations in the NVRAM by at least 2Kb."
router#erase /all nvram: Erasing the nvram filesystem will remove all files! Continue? [confirm] %Error erasing nvram: (No such file or directory)
*Mar 1 00:50:03.813: %SYS-4-NV_BLOCK_INITFAIL: Unable to initialize the geometry of nvram
Do I simply have to consider the NVRAM to be broken or is there another way to initialise it again?
