[Orca-users] Illegal Seek Errors / Unkown Errors

Hello All,

I have the following configuration:

* One Orca Server sharing the entire orca directory to all orcallator 
clients. This server creates rrd's and html, etc...
* Many Orca Clients mounting the orca directory writing to the NFS 
server share(orca/var/orcallator/server/...)

Is this a correct configuration?  Or should I be installing ORCA on 
each client.  I do the NFS share from the server so I don't have to 
install the ORCA binaries on each client. 

This has been working fine until a few days ago(the same time i added 
more clients) when i started receiving the following types of 
errors.  NOte they all seem to be the disk run percentage html files:

=========================================
/app/orca/bin/orca: warning: cannot create Orca::HTMLFile object:

=========================================

Sometimes its an "Illegal Seek" and most of the time it does not give 
a reason at all.

m' for writing: .
==========================================

It appears to be the same files though(same server and disk run 
percentage).  These files do exist but with zero lenth:

===================
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other          0 Jul 12 
15:30 /app/orca/html/o_d1ua0101_gauge_disk_runp_sd1,__disk_runp_sd1.ht
ml.htm
===================

I have tried removing the rrd and html files but no luck.  I turned 
off orcallator on one of the clients to see if it was NFS but that 
didnt work either...  I also have plenty of space on the orca mount 
point and receiving no disk errors...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!  BTW, everything else is 
working beautifully!

Thanks in advance,
John Richardson
