- Hi,
-
- Yes, your description is rather vague. A PERFECTLY functioning server platform
- should not routinly encounter volume errors. I suggest that you get the error
- messages (after 1-5-93, of course) and let us know what they are. We may be
- able to better determine what has gone wrong with that information at hand.
-
- Your question about why you need to run VREPAIR multiple times is a good one. I
- have noticed the need for this too, but cannot understand why one has to do this
- . But this "repeat" process is not needed just for volumes that support multipl
- e name spaces. Even volumes with only DOS name space support often require
- multiple VREPAIR "passes."
-
- Don P., do you understand why this is ("...be sure to run VREPAIR until you find
- zero errors, then run it once more to verify there were no errors left...")?
-
- I'll be looking for the responses...
-
- Think Peace...
