Subj: 	Alex Ford can't do a workon this morning on quarry (or doobie)

Hi,

He gets 
quarry> workon -sb pbook
field sandbox_base not found.
Error parsing rc description file ./shared
quarry>

Yet his .sandboxrc is as follows (and it worked fine last night).
        # sandbox rc file created by mksb

        # default sandbox
default pbook

        # base directories to sandboxes
base * /home/aford/sandbox

        # list of sandboxes
sb pbook

        # mksb config specific
mksb -dir /home/aford/sandbox
mksb -tools b
mksb -obj b /
mksb -src b /

and his environment variables are slim:

PATH=/home/aford/bin:/usr/sde/tools/alpha_OSF1/bin:/usr/bin:.
TERM=xterm
LOGNAME=aford
USER=aford
SHELL=/bin/csh
HOME=/home/aford
MAIL=/usr/spool/mail/aford
PRINCIPAL=Alexander_Ford
EDITOR=/usr/bin/vi

Please help Alex.

Thanks & Regards,

You didn't say what the pbook sandbox is backed to.  Could be mounts
are missing on quarry (automounts).

What does pbook/link point to?

thanks...	-josh

It's ptdx.nightly, and it's likely cause that's unstable tonight.
I just whacked his link to ptdx.bl6 and he gets in fine.

Thanks for the help.

Subj: 	Re:  Can't do a workon
Dave, the usual questions: 	you definitely have your sandbox disk

mounted and you have the backingtree mounted?  I.e. you can cd to
    /usr/users/suitor/ravine/sandbox/pt_ref
and from there you can cd to 'link' (which points to the backingtree).

And you have nfs locking enabled on your workstation (since it appears to
me that your sandbox is mounted from elsewhere?)

Are you, on your workstation, in group staff (10) ?  this should only be
needed if you're backing to a base build, not a doc build, but I can't
tell from your mail what you're backed to.
