Folks,
I'm in need of some quick help… we are experiencing some issues this morning login into our development / beta environments… once we enter ID it gives us an FS400 error immediately… looking at the sysprog revmedia… i noticed the following weird stuff:
* MSF program on every single file including sysprog and other volumes
* Lines 5 & 7 have a date
* Lines 6, 8 & 9 seem to have time
* Line 12 has FAILED
* Line 29 has workstation ID
Anyone know what these are, does anyone have the revmedia dictionary layout… do these fields look to be in the right place?
Thanks in advance
Paulo

Are you sure you're looking at the REVMEDIA file? The general layout goes like this:
0*1 File name
0*2 Account name
1 DOS File name
2 MFS list
There are optionally other fields, but I think they are unimportant for this thread.

Yes Victor, I'm looking at a REVMEDIA file layout… and I've never seen data in any fields passed field 2… so I'm not sure what's going on here, do you know what fields 3 - 25 are if they even exist as options?
Thanks

No I don't. Some additional fields contain parameters used when creating a file, flags, timestamps, etc., but nothing that resembles what you've described.
You stated this was the development system. That would seem to imply there is also a productional system. What does the REVMEDIA file look like there?

Production looks fine… looks normal…
Any other ideas on the FS400???
thanks

Additional fields were added in v2.0 for environmental bonding. These should be documented in the v2.0x manuals and the MFS SDK documentation.
Is it possible there is an MFS attached to all your files or volumes that uses another "REVMEDIA" file for security purposes?

FS400 means "Invalid table handle" I think. My guess is that you're getting that because your REVMEDIA file got corrupted somehow. Do you have a backup?
If the problem occurred on one of our servers (a specific ont), I'd suspect the problem we had where Netware scrambled FAT tables, so the contents of one file actually appeared under the name of another. That wasn't fun to clean up.

Check out MEDIA.MAP.EQUATES in Sysinclude.
What MFS is on each file?
The 400 is a generic file open failure so check to see that the appropriate DOS files are there for things like SYSENV.

I've removed all MFS's from revmedia… still getting FS400, but when I try to login as sysprog I get a FS1009??? It's almost like it can validate against SYSENV, but I've set an alis to attach both sysobj & sysenv and every looks fine…
Any ideas?
Thanks

Ok, so I wrote a little program to clear every line in the REVMEDIA from line 2 - 15 and from line 18 - 30… which had garbage…
Everything seems to be working OK now… we are able to login… I'm still having a restore done to compare old working revmedia to the one I changed to make sure everything looks fine… but this might take a couple of days…
Now we'll investigate what might have changed / updated this REVMEDIA…
Thanks for all your responses…
