We have seen a re-occurance of the "super-block" damaged problem after
installing Fast/Wide scsi on our fileserver. There is now a new PTF to
correct this "super-block" problem. (note: damage occurs on non-Fast/Wide
devices) PTF# U435116 (for 3.2.5)
Also we have experienced problems with the fileserver crashing because a user
filled a partion on our AIX server. We are running with the -m 2 switch
on fileserver. Our partitions are all 1.0 gb. I have an open problem
ticket with Transarc on this, since I did not expect a full partition to
crash the entire server, plus I still find it hard to believe 20 mb is not
enough overhead.
