Just a thought ... Is your partition full??

No... 92%, but it's a 16GB filesystem (JFS on AIX 5.1).


I did find this little bit of trouble though...

I don't know anything about JFS, but is it possible that the partition
is out of inodes?




unfortunately (?) not..

/dev/vicepa      15597568   1302472   92%      270     1% /vicepa
/dev/vicepb      15597568  15066904    4%      587     1% /vicepb

Only 1% inodes used...

Is this a namei fileserver??
If yes, try to enter /vicepa and do something in the directory.
Copy some files or ... whatever just for making shure your filesystem is accessible.



The answer was sort of... AFS could read & write happily to existing volumes... But the filesystem appeared to be hosed somewhere between the JFS itself & the disk...


Probably due to a power outage last week on the ESS that holds the actual disk. I had to fsck the filesystems (/vicepa & /vicepb) before they'd mount, and I'm running a salvage now, but it looks like it's come back. Very strange, because it was only the JFS filesystems on that volumegroup that were affected. The jfs2 filesystems were fine... There are a whole lot (9) of empty volume files in the /vicepa filesystem though... They look like they're from attempts to move volumes late last week...


What do you actually mean by "empty volume files" ??

In a namei fileserver the *.vol files in the root directory of the partition (vicep*) don't contain any 'real' data from the volume.
