for replying and giving me all kinds of suggestions. Thanks to Neil at
Compaq Silver support for guiding me through the solution.
This problem was the after effects of a panic which is still being
researched.
fsck of /dbdump resulted in a "cannot find inode 38144" and fsck failed.
The solution is to boot to single user.
mount -d /dbdump (to force mount /dbdump)
find /dbdump -inum 38144 -ls (to find the offending file)
rm -rf <file> (It turned out to be a directory)
I reran fsck and it passed!
