- This sounds like a filesystem problem. It is probably resolved after
- rebooting because the boot script performs "fsck -fp" on the /var
- filesystem during the boot process. Have you checked the error log?
- You should read about the "fsck" command, and you could use that command
- the next time that you experience a problem.
-
- Have you called your friendly IBM support people? Strangely enough,
- they might be able to help you...
