Since I installed ECO-2, everything seems to have been running quite
well, I only had the problem with logging being disabled after my
scheduled archiving job (if there wasn't enything to archive). My
workaround to this was to restart PCM right aftre archiving.
But since yesterday everything seems screwed up. I have lots of
archive jobs " Archive Cle 029", right now 71 jobs! This means I run
out of available PCB slots.
There is lots of free space on the disks, ~60 percent, the automatic
archiving is set to start at 20 percent.
If I do a sh dev/files on the archive disk, I can see that randomly
some of these archiving processes hold various LOG or TIMES files,
but when I do a dir/full on those files, they have not been modified.
What's going on? Can ECO-3 help out here? Any chance of getting a copy
to try?

Just to add: I just rebooted, and right away new Archive processes
are started up... While they are running I can do a con monitor, which
is a bit slow, but I can't connect.
If I do a stop/id on these archiving processes connect works again. But
shortly the archiving processes are started again! I can't seem to get
rid of them.
Troubled...

This is your problem if I'm reading this correctly. PCM uses opposite
terminology from VCS. VCS started moving files when a user specified
percent *free* space was reached. PCM uses percent *full* - just the
opposite! SO if you set the critical threshold to 20% then automatic
archives will kick in when the disk is 20% *full* or 80% *free* if
you want to look at it that way! Set your critical threshold to 80%.

Dan,
that was just my wording... If I do a pcm edit show filespace I get
warning at 70% full, and critical at 80% full.
Even a reboot didn't stop these archiving processes at first, but now
for some reason they're gone. Is there any other reason that would
trigger these processes, and why 70 of them? If I tried to stop them
new ones just showed up, I guess until PCB was exhausted.
Since this system has worked OK for some time, the only thing that
was abnormal at the time was that one decserver (8 systems) had dropped
out (lost the Ethernet cable), and one other system had a barrage of
DMQ warnings (the DMQ logfile was almost 1 million blocks in a couple
of days). Could either of those have anything to do with it?
Rgds,
Hans
