HELP!!! File system? wierdness on Ultrix 3.1

[Stan Barber]

I have a VAXstation 3500 running Ultrix 3.1 (Rev 9) which is constantly 
generating I/O error from almost any command. This problem develops over the
course of a few hours following reboot. NFS is configured, but only biods
are running (no filesystems are exported). DECNET is configured.

The problem appears to involve the /var partition, but I can't put my finger
on the real problem. I have a VAX 11/750 which is similiarly configured, but
does not exhibit the problem.

We have a bizarre support arrangement on these machines, so I have not called
Atlanta as yet. It remains possible that it may be a hardware problem, but
uerf is not revealing any interesting information.

Funny thing is that I was running this same software without nfs and it
was pretty reliable. Is that the problem?

Please direct replys to me and I will summarize. And excuse me if this
has already been discussed. I don't read comp.unix.ultrix all the time.

Thanks in advance.
