Is this correct?. If that's the case I would make sure you have async. I/O (AIO) enabled and installed this is usually managed by the kernel. If there is a write failure to the raw lvol a message should be dumped to the console and to your messages file also. Albert Smith Sr. Unix Systems Administrator HPCSA, RHCT Genex Services 440 E.
