$ show log sys$common/full
"SYS$COMMON" [exec] = "DSA101:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.]" [concealed,terminal] (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)
I accidentally entered the following command on a 7.3-2 system, and got
$ dir sys$common:*.dir
Directory SYS$COMMON:[000000]
APACHE.DIR;1 CDA$LIBRARY.DIR;1 CDD$TEMPLATE.DIR;1 CDD$TEMPLATEDB.DIR;1
CDDPLUS.DIR;1 CDD_EXTENSIONS.DIR;1 CDE$DEFAULTS.DIR;1
CDSA.DIR;1 CER_RO.DIR;1 CER_SQLSRV.DIR;1 DECC$LIB.DIR;1
etc., etc.
I was a little surprised that I didn't generate an error, however, that aside I noticed that it defaulted to [000000].
I entered the same command on an 8.3-1H1 Itanium blade system, and got.
dir sys$common:*.dir
Directory SYS$COMMON:[SYSMGR]
VAXINFO$PRODUCTS.DIR;1 _MOZILLA.DIR;1 VAXINFO$PRODUCTS.DIR;1
_MOZILLA.DIR;1
Total of 4 files.
Note, on this system, it defaults to [SYSMGR], and lists (and Counts) the directory files twice. Examining the file_ID shows,
$ dir sys$common:*.dir/file_id
Directory SYS$COMMON:[SYSMGR]
VAXINFO$PRODUCTS.DIR;1
(17223,2,0)
_MOZILLA.DIR;1 (10141,1,0)
VAXINFO$PRODUCTS.DIR;1
(17223,2,0)
_MOZILLA.DIR;1 (10141,1,0)
however, if I display sys$common:[sysmgr] explicitly, I get,
dir sys$common:[sysmgr]*.dir/file_id
Directory SYS$COMMON:[SYSMGR]
VAXINFO$PRODUCTS.DIR;1
(17223,2,0)
_MOZILLA.DIR;1 (10141,1,0)
Total of 2 files.
Similarly, I get the correct display for sys$common:[000000], if I enter the command explicitly.
Is this a bug? Or is my system disk screwed up? (and if so, is it recoverable)
Dave.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Solutionwhat was your default directory when you issued this command on the V7.3-2 system ? Maybe SYS$SYSDEVICE:[000000] and not SYS$MANAGER: ?
The fact, that files are listed twice, if your default directory device contains a multi-valued logical name, is normally seen, if you do a $ DIR MUA0:*.* command on an ANSI-mounted tape and wonder, why all files on the tape are shown twice. This is normal behaviour.
So there is probably nothing wrong with your system disk ;-)

Re: 8.3-1H1 peculiarity !! (Bug??!!)
It is possible that the backlink for VMS$COMMON.DIR is wrong. DFU VERIFY/FIX SYS$SYSDEVICE: will correct that, but I'm not sure that problem would cause these symptoms.

Re: 8.3-1H1 peculiarity !! (Bug??!!)
When I set my default to sys$manager on both systems, then I get the same result on boths systems 7.3-2 and 8.3-1H1.
On both systems I get duplicate output, probably because sys$manager translates to
$ set def sys$manager
$ show def
SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSMGR]
= SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSMGR]
= SYS$COMMON:[SYSMGR]
$
Thanks Volker (learn something new every day)
(In over 20 years, I have never noticed this before)
