L.S.

Is this an Operations Manager issue?

My guess: Usually when things like these happen on a Unix system. a file that is in use has been deleted.

It is no longer shown in the listing, but is is only released when the processes keeping the file open are stopped.

HtH,

JP.

Hello.

You'll get more responses if you ask in HP-UX related section.  This might be a good starting point:

lsof | grep mount_point

>lsof | grep mount_point

Something like:

# lsof +aL1 /d04
