ANALYZE/DISK and files marked for delete?

» close window

The Question is:

 
I have an aplha 3600.
On the system disk, I did an ANALYZE/DISK/REPAIR.
I got the following  messages:
After I did the ANALYZE command I rebooted the machine, reran the ANALYZE
 command with NOREPAIR, and the same message came out. It doesn't appear that
 the command worked. I also brought the machines down and booted from the VMS
 CD, and did the same proces
s.
 
Whats' wrong?

The Answer is :

 
  These particular warning messages are usually entirely innocuous, and
  simply indicate that a file was marked for deletion by the application,
  but was left undeleted after an application or system failure.  This
  wastes some storage, but (other than this use) causes no harm.  Various
  applications mark files for deletion to permit temporary files to be
  purged upon failure.  (This Rdb-related application is clearly one
  such application.)
 
  ANALYZE/DISK/REPAIR should clean these files up, assuming the files
  are not currently open for access.
 
  Please upgrade to (at least) OpenVMS Alpha V7.1-2 -- with the current
  ECOs applied -- on your DEC 3000 model 600 system.
 
  Please also contact Oracle Rdb for information on applicable Oracle
  Rdb ECOs.
