We are HP 9000, HPUX 11.11, Unidata 6.1 (I know it's old, I'm working on getting it upgraded).
Lately, we have experienced a rash of Unidata files reported, by a program that emulates or maybe even uses "guide", as damaged. It is not always the same files or even the same number of files. This has become a daily occurrence and so far our NA has found no entries in whatever logs he has been looking at that indicate problems with our RAID array or anything else hardware-wise. That doesn't mean it isn't hardware, but we haven't found the smoking gun. Anyway, I can use "fixfile" to repair the damage but it just keeps happening. Below is what fixfile has to say when it fixed the latest victim (it looks pretty much the same for any damaged file). It doesn't mean much to me and I don't know if it would help diagnose the problem, but I send it to you experts in hopes you might have some ideas...
