Yes, as I said before, IRIX 6.5.7 and HSM just doesn't work, i.e.
HSM is not yet supported for IRIX 6.5.7. We went to 6.5.7.two weeks
ago, running HSM for more then half a year on IRIX (some people will
remember all the major bugs I found in the beginning of '99),
one of our filesystem get corrupted, and that was the end of the story
(well, actually the beginning of the story.....)
We went to IRIX 6.5.4, made a new HSM-filesystem, start restoring
(of course with stubs), and going back to IRIX 6.5.7.
So, the be clear, it's not that HSM doesn't work in IRIX 6.5.7,
but you can't make a new HSM-filesystem in IRIX 6.5.7.

Cheers,
Henk.
