We shall have to look into upgrading to 4.2 or 4.3 in this case. The server that those traces were from is currently running 4.0 However, the more noticeable problem was the processes stuck in nfsvin because of the broken directory entry. Have you any ideas as to what would be causing that particular problem which is plaguing our servers more than the vmopar problem? Thanks for your assistance in this matter so far.
