Thanks to Dr. Thomas Blinn. Moving tmp has been on the agenda. I was
just surprised to have the errors appear when it had not been an issue
before. I have included my original question below, and a summarization
below that.
Thank you,
Jim

Original question:
I have an ES40 running 5.1A PK3. I am getting these kinds of errors
every once in while when running vdump on the root partition. I was
under the impression that this was not supposed to happen anymore
with vdump and temporary files. I never used to get these types of
errors. They seem to be occurring more frequently. HP told me I need
to run verify against the root domain. However, I would like to resolve
this without having to bring the system down.
Thank you,
Jim Zimmerman

Summarization of response:
Dr. Blinn stated that it is extremely unlikely that there is any file
corruption based the error I am getting. He suggested migrating
/cluster/members/member0/tmp to a different ADVfs file domain, and
mounting it in the fstab to /cluster/members/member0/tmp. In addition,
create a different backup strategy for /tmp, if a backup is necessary,
and removing /tmp from the regular backup. He also suggested migrating
the /var/tmp directory off of the var_domain.
