Anyone ever see this before? There are many files in this filesystem but that never caused problems so I don't know what to do. I wouldlike to delete them but the system doesn't let me.... What might cause this and what would I do about it? I am thinking on backing up the filesystem, and doing a newfs..... Thanks!

Inodes may be wrong for these files... Have you tried running fsck on the partition where these files are located.
 
No I haven't tried that. I might have to shutdown this software and run it. These particular files are on an A1000 array. There are manymanymany files in this filesystem so inodes might be the issue. I will let y ou know the outcome once I try it. Thanks!
 
I had an inode problem in the past and the problems showed up in the console messges log. There is nothing this time. I will still run an fsck when time permits.
 
I don't think we are out of inodes.... I will still do a fsck....

An A1000 you say? Anything showing up in rm6 (or is that what you mean by the console message log?).
 
both, health checks come out optimal so I don't really know what is going on. When I try to remove these directories I get this...

# rm -r ar5600818
ar5600818: I/O error
#

then if I go into this directory I get this but it is definately there ....

# cd bl12091602
bl12091602: bad directory
#

fsck you think?
