The same thing has happened to me twice on a DN4500 running 10.1 (including
10.1.2 I think). I believe I fixed the problem each time by copying /sys/dm/dm
from another node and rebooting. I say "believe" because as far as I could
tell, the old and new dm's where the same in all respects (maybe it just
needs some attention now and then :-)

This is the only machine this has happened to (we have a couple of DN3x00
machines in heavy use as well).

The 4500 is a routing node and a server for 8 PC's running PCI.

Hope this helps.
