Problem #1 is know solved, Shaya Nava sent me the patch (uuencoded).
The new pmd checksum should be :
# cksum pmd
791009273 475136 pmd
And you need to stop/start pmd (/usr/opt/fullsail/PM/scripts/pmd_xxx).
My comparison with vmubc was pointless (they do not access same kernel
zones). Side note: both vmubc and PM are nice tools.
Problem #2 not answered yet ...
Grumble-grumble:
----------------
Once again the question of availability of a *LIST OF ALL PATCHES* in
Europe is asked to Digital !!! (though the list of OS fixes is now in
D-UNIX 3.2C CD-ROM in DOCUMENTATION/TEXT/Digital_UNIX_V3.2C_CLD_Fixes.txt
as Benoit stated, and which goes the right way).
I can of course forward the patch for people outside US
(US guys are lucky enough to be aware and get the patches via http/ftp !).
I thank you very much for your quick help,
(in spite of my doubtful humor about Sparc vs Alpha populations ;-)
