This not being able to repair objects that are inconsistant is becoming a real problem. I reported the problem to you guys over the weekend and then after waiting a few days, I finally did a venus -init. Now I am in a place where I cannot do a venus -init without loosing significant work. Please help me as soon as you can. I will do whatever you need to gather more information about the problem. Here is what I have gathered so far: 1) Codacon is reporting several local inconsistant objects 10:10:36 Local inconsistent object at /coda/home/bwoodard/Mail/from, please check! 10:10:36 Local inconsistent object at /coda/home/bwoodard/WorkArea/npadmin, please check! 10:10:36 Local inconsistent object at /coda/home/bwoodard/.netscape, please check! 10:10:36 Local inconsistent object at /coda/home/bwoodard/Mail/inbox, please check! 10:10:36 Local inconsistent object at /coda/home/bwoodard/wabi, please check! 2) Repair doesn't seem to work and there are two ways that coda manifests the inconsistant objects and repair seems to pick up on this difference. [bwoodard_at_trill bwoodard]$ repair This repair tool can be used to manually repair server/server or local/global conflicts on files and directories. You will first need to do a "beginrepair" to start a repair session where messages about the nature of the conflict and the commands that should be used to repair the conflict will be displayed. Help message on individual commands can also be obtained by using the "help" facility. Finally, you can use the "endrepair" or "quit" to terminate the current repair session. repair > begin /coda/home/bwoodard/Mail/from ENABLEREPAIR: /coda/home/bwoodard/Mail/from/: No such file or directory repair > begin /coda/home/bwoodard/WorkArea/npadmin object not in conflict repair > begin /coda/home/bwoodard/.netscape object not in conflict repair > begin /coda/home/bwoodard/Mail/inbox ENABLEREPAIR: /coda/home/bwoodard/Mail/inbox/admin: No such file or directory repair > begin /coda/home/bwoodard/wabi object not in conflict repair > [bwoodard_at_trill bwoodard]$ ls -l /coda/home/bwoodard/Mail/from lr--r--r-- 1 root 65534 27 Jul 9 10:15 /coda/home/bwoodard/Mail/from -> @7f000002.ffffffff.35a4625f [bwoodard_at_trill bwoodard]$ ls -l /coda/home/bwoodard/WorkArea/npadmin ls: /coda/home/bwoodard/WorkArea/npadmin: Permission denied -benReceived on 1998-07-09 12:26:18
