Did you run your "cleanup archdir fix=yes" command ?

I can't remember if it was only on older code or newer code without running
cleanup archdir but I could kill an adsm server with
        delete file somenode *
and it had to do with the archived directories...
I know in the older version servers I could move the nodes to a domain with
a only one management class (with all retentions basically being only 1 day)
then run expiration, then do a "delete file somenode *" and that wouldn't
kill the server that way ;-)

just what I've seen slightly related to your problem but don't know if it
really has anything specifically connected to you

later,
       Dwight
