If you are running a version 1 client, you should upgrade to the latest level
of client service, which is currently at V2 R1 L0.4. It is available from our
FTP anonymous server, index.storsys.ibm.com.

If you suspect a problem with your filesystem, then maybe it would be worth-
while to run fsck.

After you upgrade, if the error still occurs I urge you to open a problem
up with IBM support. If there is indeed a bug in the software, we can not
fix it through this forum.
