I would suggest opening a case with Symantec. IIRC, Vxfs 4.1 has some kernel memory leak issues. There are hotfixes + I believe later MPs address the issue as well. However, my experience with Symantec is that they will want you to collect data and send it to them before they will release their hotfix (which is really just a regular patch that hasn't been rolled into a MP bundle). _______________________________________________ sysadmin-discuss mailing list sysadmin-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/sysadmin-discuss
