file corruption with Vms 7.2-2

[labadie_1]

to make a long story short: with Mac os X and mozilla, I can't reply in the ITRC forums, unless I attach a document. So I attach always a marvelous file, created with appleworks, called empty.cwk, and that file is empty.

try firefox instead of mozilla

[labadie_1]

here is
$ ana/disk/norepair with no activity on the disk.

(your .txt attachment appears to be a MS Word doc)

You appear to have lots of lost files and disk space which suggests a directory or two was lost as well as some improperly deleted files.

I wouldn't like to be the one that has to tell management that a corruption was caused by usage of freeware ...

Well, without starting a war, what is the difference when there is a big bug in a big company product ( Microsoft, HP, Digital, Sun, Ibm, Oracle...), and a big bug in a freeware ?
You use some software, and there is some risk using it. You can prove that a program is bug-free only when it is a very simple program (100 lines or so). When you have 10 000 or 100 000 or more lines of code, you can't be sure. Of course it is convenient to have somebody to blame

I think I will
1) backup
2) check the backup
3) set vol/rebuild=force

Thanks for all the ideas

$ ana/disk/repair as well

Ian,

You mention the existence of DFU V3.1 -- is it available somewhere for download yet? Give the nature of the fix, it would be nice to replace the DFU V3.0 that I'm using now.

Thanks,

Robert

Ian, I would also like to know where DFU V3.1 since V3.0 is on FREEWARE60_1.

the latest and greatest DFU will be on FREEWARE V7 which ships with VMS V8.2. When it will appear on the web site I know not.
