Hi all. I've just had this error occur on one of our AlphaStations

I was removing files from an NFS mount point, when I noticed it was taking
a long time to perform this. Can someone tell me what's going on here, and
how serious this error is? The system is still up and functioning, so I
know it's not too serious just yet, but an expert opinion would be
appreciated. It's running DU4.0E.

Thanks,
