Dear Managers,
Thanks to Alan_at_nabeth.cxo.dec.com and Chris Ruhnke <ruhnke_at_us.ibm.com> for their
speedy replies. The pointed me in the correct direction. They both suggested
that it could be either the advfsd or the ADVFS GUI that was causing the
problem. Chris told me to create the file in /var/opt/advfsd/disks.ignore That
solved my problem immediately after restarting the advfsd.
My previous question was:
> I am, at present quite confused by a problem on an AlphaServer 8200 system
> running Digital UNIX 4.0D and TruCluster ASE version 1.5. The system is
> configured with 2 GB of memory and shares 160 GB of RAID 0+1 disk storage in a
> RAID Array 7000 with with another AlphaServer 8200. The problem I am getting is
> that recently the node "sampson" has started making a large series of errorlog
> entries. The output of uerf from this looks like the following.
