That's not exactly true; we didn't see issues with an inordinate number of bpdbm processes on MP5 until the images which were corrupt had expired and were ready to be pruned from the catalog were unable to be processed. In our case, it was between three and six months after those images were initially written.
In our case, we had another process fail (hot catalog backups) which led us to the corrupt images and the large number of bpdbm problems. Now, I'm not trying to say that is his issue, however, it did happen to us on a select few images that were written with MP5. -- nick > So this suggests that 6.0MP5 is not the cause.

Many of those could be idle. _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
