Dear Managers,

i have a strange problem with advfs:

there are some data on a 9 GByte Seagate Disk (ST410800N) which is mounted under
advfs.
Everything seems okay, but some files getting corrupt - some 0000 are included/
appended on this files. We can only check it by testing them with the Original
files which are on CD.

The uerf doesn't tell me anything. The last entry is from 21-aug - it was the
reboot of this machine.

The disklabel looks good:

type: SCSI
disk: RZxx
label:
flags: dynamic_geometry
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 133
tracks/cylinder: 27
sectors/cylinder: 3591
cylinders: 4926
sectors/unit: 17755614
rpm: 3600
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0 # milliseconds
track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds
drivedata: 0

8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
  a: 3591 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 0)
  b: 0 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - -1)
  c: 17755614 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 4944*)
  d: 5914377 3591 ADVfs # (Cyl. 1 - 1647)
  e: 5914377 5917968 ADVfs # (Cyl. 1648 - 3294)
  f: 2093553 11832345 ADVfs # (Cyl. 3295 - 3877)
  g: 3828006 13925898 ADVfs # (Cyl. 3878 - 4943)
  h: 0 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - -1)

For the DEC people and me it's a strange problem.

Does anyone have this disks in use?

        There is a theory which states that if ever anyone
        discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is
        here. It will instantly disappear and be replaced by
        something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

        There is another theory which states
        that this has already happened.
