Hi Perhaps if you clear everything. then remove the filesystem from dpm dpm-rmfs and add it back. dpm-addfs. I think I tried that recently for a fs that was reporting dodgy numbers and it worked. If not - then we can dig more into if there is something in the db causing problems. Cheers Wahid On 7 Jul 2010, at 11:45, Chris Curtis wrote: > Hi - > > The rfrm command didn't help.
