Hi Steve,
I haven't seen any problems of this sort, so maybe you could run some
tests to narrow down the possibilities. If you try capturing a ls -lR to
a file and repeat it a few times, do you get consistent results? Is it
only certain directories that disappear? Do changes in rsize and wsize
have any effect?
Since Alpha has a different page size, some of the internal structures
are different, so you may be triggering a problem hidden on Intel
machines.
Regards,
Bill
