Managers,

  I am having a strange problem with my recently upgraded (to DU 4.0D) alpha
servers. The advfsd daemon, when it wakes up on it's 5 minute interval,
drops a lot of errors in the binary.errlog. It only errors on the servers
that do not have access to a groups of disks on a HSZ controller.

Is it a HSZ firmware issue? Advfs error?

Advfs is version 425
System is on Firmware 5.0 (A11 version of SCSI firmware)
