Right now we are testing beta version of the driver supplied by IBM they are not yet officially supporting the driver. It seems to be working fine but when we try to restore the disk, it screws up inodes. We have to run fsck, and varyonvg (??) commands and then everything is back to normal. ##### ##### Hemant Shah ##### ##### Fermilab ###################### ACCESS/System Integration ###################### ##### ##### ####### ####### Email address : ################ ################ ############## ############## From VMS : ############ ############ SMTP%"shah@cdsun5.fnal.gov" ############ ############ From UNIX : ############## ############## shah@cdsun5.fnal.gov ################ ################ ####### ####### Voice : (708) 840-8071 ##### ##### ###################### ###################### ##### ##### ##### #####
