I am trying to set up the following backup procedure.  I am using
turbostore to backup to disc.  The disc I am backing up to is EMC.  I then
have the IBM guys use a product to store images of the EMC discs to a
storage tek silo. All this works and tested fine.  (BTW it backed up three
3.5 gig drives in 23 minutes)

The problem occured during recovery.  I purged four store files.  I then
had the IBM overlay the disks.  The four files did not show up on a listf
command.  I used fscheck, checkdirc ;fix to bring back the files.  I was
able to access the files, and successfully restored some files from the end
of a store file.  When I went to purge the files, the system crashed.

I used fscheck, checklabel and  the recovered files had label corruption.
I tried the checklabel;fix command and it did not work.  I tried purgefile
from within fscheck, this crashed the system again.

I thought the file directories were kept on the master drive of the user
volume.  However, it appears that they are also kept on the system volume
set master also.   How can the two directories be resynched?    This should
be the same scenerio when a system drive crashes and you have to do an
install.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Andy
