This usually means the FS was otherwise occupied when ADSM
tried to access it. Are you doing FS or logical volume work
at about this same time? Cron's usually the culprit, but other
permissions or multiple nested links can also be a problem.
Here a blurb referenced from the man page for statfs (it looks
like that is the failing function) and if I trust that IBM keeps
it's error numbers intact, the entry corresponding to errno 4 is
the ELOOP error, indicating a looping or excessively long chained
link. Just my guess, but it seems as good a place to start as any.
Appendix A. Base Operating System Error Codes for
Services That Require Path-Name Resolution
The following errors apply to any service that requires
path name resolution:
EACCES Search permission is denied on a component
of the path prefix.
EFAULT The Path parameter points outside of the allocated
address space of the process.
EIO An I/O error occurred during the operation.
ELOOP Too many symbolic links were encountered in
translating the Path parameter.
ENAMETOOLONG A component of a path name exceeded 255 characters
and the process has the DisallowTruncation attribute
(see the ulimit subroutine) or an entire path name
exceeded 1023 characters.
ENOENT A component of the path prefix does not exist.
ENOENT A symbolic link was named, but the file to which it
refers does not exist.
ENOENT The path name is null.
ENOTDIR A component of the path prefix is not a directory.
ESTALE The root or current directory of the process is
located in a virtual file system that is unmounted.
