OpenVMS ALPVERI01_070 Alpha V7.0 ANALYZE/DISK ECO Summary

 
NOTE:  An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored
       on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file.
       The name of the compressed file will be kit_name-dcx_vaxexe
       for OpenVMS VAX or kit_name-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha.
 
       Once the file is copied to your system, it can be expanded
       by typing RUN compressed_file.  The resultant file will
       be the OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file which
       can be used to install the ECO.

ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for VERIFY.EXE on OpenVMS Alpha V7.0.  This kit
addresses the following problems: 

Problems Addressed in the ALPVERI01_070 Kit:

  o  VERIFY does not flag files, which are directly back linked to
     themselves, as having invalid backlinks. 

  o  VERIFY hangs in an infinite loop during its scan of the directory
     structure. 


Problems Addressed in the ALPVERI01_071 Kit:

  o  ANALYZE/DISK goes into an infinite loop.

     VERIFY has incorrectly 'fixed' the backlink of a lost directory to
     point to itself.  The next time VERIFY is run, it encounters the
     lost directory and goes into a tight loop following the directory's
     backlink. 


INSTALLATION NOTES:

The system does not need to be rebooted after this kit is installed.
However, if you have other nodes in your OpenVMS VMScluster, they should
be rebooted or you should install this kit on each system in order to
make use of the new image(s).
