When copying large numbers of files, files start to dissappear, but they are not actually gone they just stop showing up. when you delete enough files from the directory, all of a sudden all of the remaining files show up. If I try and run an fsck on the volume I get a bus error. It seems to be an issue with JFS on sparc64 as I have the same setup on AMD64 with no problems. I talked to some of the IBM engineers and it seems like it may be an alignment problem on SPARC64. I was hoping someone with more experience with SPARC hardware may have some input that could help us solve the problem.
