- In many countries the CSC's answer is "ignore these messages, they are
sent when you use advfs, but they no importance".
- Herve Demarthe's suggestion is to put quotacheck -guv /mount-point in the
crontab.
- Dr. Tom Blinn from Digital has looked at the AdvFS code and gave me some
very detailed explanations with source code parts.
His conclusion was :
"So if I were going to try to track this down further, I'd probably go
andtalk to Tim Mark. He still works here, and he's probably still in the
AdvFS
group.
I think it's a reportable problem. I think that there's something broken in
the interlocking of statistics that results in some file system statistic
getting decremented too often, resulting in this reported underflow (where
the statistic is already at zero, and we're trying to decrement it). Maybe
it's really just a logic bug. But in any case, there doesn't seem to be a
work-around.

In fact this problem was already mentionned by :
