Hello All,
I saw the following posting and wanted to pass on some followup.
I believe the hung ADVFS daemon problem referred to affects Digital Unix
4.0B. I encountered it when I upgraded to DU 4.0B, but did not see it
previous DU versions.
There is a fix for that problem on DU 4.0B. The problem is one of the
many flaws with DECthreads on 4.0B. The needed patch is part of the
Digital Unix 4.0B patch kit number 3.

The original question was "why advfsd is using more than 90% of the cpu?"
It's a known bug and there is no correction available but just workarounds.
The daemon is useful only with the advfs GUI.
2 solutions are given :
1) On a regular basis stop and start the daemon by :
/sbin/rc3.d/S53advfsd stop
/sbin/rc3.d/S53advfsd start
2) stop the daemon by /sbin/rc3.d/S53advfsd stop and start it only before
using the GUI.
