Hello,
Vms 5.5, there is no more error on dka400:
There are 4 - 5 files was deleted long time
but report while running ana/disk_structure as "incorrect in VBN 2313 of directory trs.data (3043,1,1)"

$ anal/disk/repair

Hello All,

Wow, that is very strange, I ran the same program again just last mins ago, using the same program and pointing at the bad data directory that give me problem before and now it working fine.

If you really used the command:

> ana/disk_structure dka400:

without the /REPAIR qualifier, then ANALYZE did not temporarily lock the disk against changes. If some job is still running, there is a certain chance that ANALYZE does not see a consistent picture of the disk and print out false warnings.

[Ian Miller.]

Recommended action for bad_nameorder errors is to delete the directory so that the files become lost (SET FILE/NODIR name.dir; DELETE name.dir), repair the disk (ANAL/DISK/REP) to recover the files, create a new empty directory and rename the files into it.

However you said its ok now?

Hello Ian,

I do a dir and see 2 copies of q162296.094;1
I delete one copy and the other one can't do it.

What I just did is, I went in and delete all file q*.094;* and after it done. I only see one copy left (q162296.094), but I can't delete it.
I ran another ana/disk_structure dka400:/repair (twice)
Now all error is gone, except the quota.sys , no such file

I hope this is the problem. But I will try your way to delete all the files out from this directory, since they are old and no good anymore. and create a new directory and copy the current data over. Or I just let the user running on dka100:

Thanks !

> Now all error is gone, except the quota.sys , no such file

I'm pretty sure the message looks like:
-SYSTEM-W-...

That is just a warning and you can safely ignore it, because you are apparently not using disk quotas on this disk, so the file QUOTA.SYS is absent. (Don't try to create it - again, just ignore the message).
