Only one reply, asking why I was using such a crusty old OS...thanks
Brett but we have some crusty old applications out there that require
this server to be kept as is.. :-)
As far as I can tell this came down to a client being locked up.
Client backup sware was being mounted from the backup server...having
stopped/restarted networker on a particular client all seems well.
Client is 2.6 by the way, not quite as crusty :-)
And ahead of yours Brett :-)
So, only outstanding question is why did all the DAT drives report
the error and then crash the server..but I can wait for an answer from
Sun for that.
Cheers,
Stuart
