Hello, thanks for answer.
I use amcheck who doesn't report any problem :
checking disk /usr/local: device /usr/local: OK
checking disk /var/spool/backup: device /var/spool/backup: OK
checking disk /var/local/netapp/: device /var/local/netapp/: OK
checking disk /etc: device /etc: OK
selfcheck: pid 5616 finish time Wed May 23 01:03:24 2001
I tried to use localhost because the exhaustive names didn't work properly
but the problem was identical with the canonical or short hostname - i use
the canonical name again now. The resolution seems to work perfectly.
Other ideas ?
Thank you.
