If a log seems to indicate a problem, it may take an experienced troubleshooter to determine the nature of the problem.
The logs are checked each night by the chkDisks crontab, which is able to determine whether any potential or actual drive problems have been logged. The results of the determination are logged to /olds/elog and mailed to the root user.
If chkDisks is not running each night, verify that it is available in the /olds directory by entering the following command:
#ls /olds/chkDisks
If the file is not found, load the CMS CD into the
#cp /cms/rdonly/olds_install/chkDisks /olds
#chmod +x /olds/chkDisks
To test chkDisks, simply execute it by entering the following command:
#/olds/chkDisks
