I also just got this message from another site on campus, with a 3.11
problem.  Perhaps someone could offer some ideas to solve this one. 8-)

So...you have any networks at 3.11?  Here's what we're seeing:
Whenever we take the server down, volume SYS disappears.  I mean like
gone...vrepair can't find it.

I also had a partition disappear.  You'd look at it in install and it
would say "netware 386 partition."  Then you'd ask to see the hot fix
area and it would say "there is no netware 386 partition on this disk."

As for NBACKUP, it brings up a big purple box and says "If you back up
to this version of netware, you are liable to corrupt the directory
structure."  And sure enough, it produces a million little errors,
including some that make the bindery inaccessible. 

Got any ideas?  I'm tired of typing in my users over and over.

I haven't had an opportunity to physically check out the above problem
network yet, but I would appreciate some pointers before I do.

Thanks for any help  ...  Syl Berta
