Sybase vs OSF

From: Ramiro Espinola <respinola_at_data.com.py>

I would like to thanks for your help in the problem that I had (too many
users), the problem was that the license for users implicit, that came with
Operating systems, was deleted; after I added a new license for Implicit
Users the problem solve.

But I would like to know if you can help me again with this problem that
they report me after the problem has resolve, the problem was with the
server that The machine crashed and rebooted twice, in the week without any
previus console messages, (First reboot on July 21 afternoon, Second on July
27 morning) looking at the logs files I found that the root filesystem was
reported as full, but the root filesystem never got full you can verify it .

Something that should count of was that the server has installed Digital
Unix OSF Version 4.0F with a Data Base Sybase Version 11.0.1. When the
server rebooted, loose all the files from that day from the Database.
Also the Database construct its files systems under RAW DEVICE not over
ADVFS. only log files and backup remains over ADVFS.

Could happen this error for the problem that I had (too many users)?, I
append the file with some information of the server.
