[comp.unix.questions] unusual number of DUP inodes

braun@drivax.UUCP (Kral) (06/16/87)

We seem to have an unusual number of DUP inodes on our weekly fsck's.  The
manuals state that this is a symptom of an incorrect shutdown of the system.
We never reboot the system, we just bring it to single user level to run the
backups (with shutdown).  So why am I getting so many (~1/month) DUP inodes?


Configuration:

	Vax 11/780 running 4.2BSD.
		RP03
		RM07		<-- most active, most likely to have DUPs
