Hi John:

It sounds like a hard drive issue as directories don't usually wander off.
Backups? Do you have any OS CD or thumb rescue drives disks that you can
boot computer and scan with?

Subject: [AccessD] OT: VM weirdness

I came up to my office this am to find three VMs in a critical state, locked
up.  I shut them down 
manually and they showed "critical state" in the vm manager.  I shut all the
vms down (I run 6 
actively) and rebooted the vm server.  When I tried to start the critical
machines, they gave an 
error message "cannot find file".  Sure enough the entire directory that
held the virtual machines 
is missing.

Now I am trying to figure out how to look at a missing directory.
