<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"sans-serif","serif"">Bob,</span>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"sans-serif","serif"">I also noticed this recently. I think it may be a simple matter of a printf()-like statement in the code that handles "mmfsadm vfsstats" using an incorrect conversion specifier --- one that treats
the counter as signed instead of unsigned and treats the counter as being smaller than it really is.</span>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"sans-serif","serif"">To help confirm that hypothesis, could you please run the following commands on the node, at the same time, so the output can be compared:</span>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"sans-serif","serif""># mmfsadm vfsstats</span>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"sans-serif","serif""># mmfsadm eventsExporter mmpmon vfss</span>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"sans-serif","serif"">I believe the code that handles "mmfsadm eventsExporter mmpmon vfss" uses the correct printf()-like conversion specifier. So, it should so good numbers where "mmfsadm vfsstats" shows negative
numbers.</span> <br>
