Error 28

GNU Radio

I have a USRP source going direct to a file sink, and it runs really
well,
except for an error. Does anyone know what the following means?:

thread[thread-per-block[1]: <block file_sink (2)>]: file_sink write
failed
with error 28

I am writing to a RAMDisk, if that helps with a solution.

Thank you.

That code comes from “errno”, which are the integer return codes from
system calls.

Many Linuxes have a “perror” command line tool that can translate these
into text:

perror 28

Might have worked for you. Although, it’s considered “polite” for
programs, when getting an error return from a kernel call to
use the programmatic equivalent of “perror” on return codes to give a
more meaningful result.
