Hi all,

in our first mail, we asked for solutions for the following problem: When
trying to remove a volume from a AdvFS file domain, rmvol always ended up
moving the metadata of a few files over and over again.

There were several propositions how to get to grips with this problem,
but only one really did it: After removing the looping files, rmvol
immediatly removed the volume from the domain. After that, we had
to restore the files off backup naturally.

Another proposition was to move the transaction log to another volume,
but that did not help.

Thanks to Johan Brusche, Thomas Sjolshag, Paul Thompson and Jim Lola for
your quick answers.

Regards,
Clemens Waechter, Sven Hoeckel, Heiko Schroeder
