Betty,

To be honest, if you had posted "the above output", it would be easier! Have you checked the filesystem usage as it stands, even though it is a clean up, it could be that the compressions are failing due to lack of disk space.

Just a guess, so look at the logs and let us know.

I think its because we've lost a disk in the array and the system hasn't been rebooted since it was taken out of /etc/fstab.

Betty,

It does look like it is a space issue. You might do well in getting the disk you lost replaced and reconfigured into your vg00.

Hi Betty,

Sound like there is a discrepancy between the /etc/fstab and the /etc/mnttab. Did you remove a filesystem from the fstab after the disk failure?

I had to reboot first then I was able to do the swinstall. removing /etc/mnttab and doing a mount -a did not get rid of the entry for the bad disk even though I had commented it out of /etc/fstab. Thanks everyone for your help.
