DAOS catalog categorically refuses to sync

I have to admit I am getting quite desperate as the catalog has not synced for almost 3 months now. I went thru the ultimate procedure (I thought so at least)

  1. Shut down the server

  2. nfixup -j -f -d on the entire server

  3. ndaosmgr resync force with all .ini daos debug options that I could find on Internet (and given by IBM support)

It takes about 8 hours with a clean console.log (just a few DB locks on daoscat.nsf) but the last 2 lines of the console.log indicates I am doomed:

06/26/2010 06:45:16 PM The DAOS catalog cannot be resynchronized. DAOS deletions will be postponed.

[1344:0002-0E9C] DAOSMGR: Resync FORCE completed

[1344:0002-0E9C] 06/26/2010 06:45:17 PM DAOSMGR: DAOS Manager shutdown complete

Also the 3 MB daos debug text file shows all DBS becoming “Detected” and then synchronized one after the other (in a very weird order by the way). No reference to a problem.

I have deleted daos.cfg, daoscat.nsf, pulled my hair, etc…

Subject: mail.box

Do you have DAOS enabled on mail.box? If so, disable daos on mail.box and try to resync again. Maybe this helps.

Do you have all fixpacks in place? There are some issues with DAOS that have been fixed by them.
