Good day all,
I've been having problems with our machine locking up (osf 3.2 alphastation 200 4/166).
Looking through various logs I've noticed a growth in the following two messages
(in kern.log).
Aug 25 19:25:32 omni vmunix: UBC write error(5) on device (8, 2054) at block 957440 size 8192

I identified the device (8,2054) as one of my partitions (/dev/rz2g). I moved everything
from this partition, and was going to use /usr/field/diskx, but it complained with saying;
part_overlap: DIOCGDINFO failed
Aborting this test due to failure in obtaining
partition layout (disk label) from /dev/rrz2g.
I then used disklabel, but it (the disklabel) has been lost for this particular drive.
Are the events related, the lost disklabel/UBC errors/machine locking up?
My simplistic hope is that restoring the missing label will solve my locking up problem.
Is this likely to be a 'correct' soloution.
Thanks,
Bob

There must be some kind of way out of here,
