We have experienced a major problem with Prestoserve under OSF/1 V 3.2.
With Prestoserve enabled, our ADVFS on top of a SWXCR RAID set gets
corrupted. It is very devastating and very reproducible.
Environment:
        Alpha 2100 model 4/200
        EISA based SWXCR
        EISA based Prestoserve
        OSF/1 3.2 Rev 214
        Firmware 3.9
        PAL code 1.35
        ECU version 1.7
Scenario:
        Prestoserve active against RAID ADVFS file system mount point
        Build file domain
        Make file set
        mount ADVFS
        reboot twice
        It's gone
or:
        Mount ADVFS
        Enable Prestoserve
        Dismount ADVFS
        Disable Prestoserve
        It's gone

We can run Prestoserve on a non-RAID ADVFS with no problems. I have
called DEC support; they have forwarded problem to engineering. Anybody
got any ideas. I'm running just find with Prestoserve disabled.
