I also got sometimes the error message:  (11,1) Inode ???? busy
In the manual you found the hint that you should contact your hardware retailer
if such error occurs. I think the only problem is that Coherent is too slow
for a 386/33 Micronics with a Rodime 110MB Harddisk with Interleave 1:1.
Should reformat it with Interleave 2 or 3.

BTW: Did the hints help to get WNEWS posting ?
