Go ahead and blow away the /etc/sm/recover and/or the /etc/sm/state files. It doesn't hurt the filer; the filer will regenerate those files when it needs them, but it'll get rid of the error messages from the filer trying to talk to machines that don't exist anymore.

What you say makes sense, but the only files in /etc/sm are : state,monitor, and notify. I tried moving /etc/sm/state but the messages are still coming.

My apologies. It was an off-the-cuff answer. I should have said notify when I said recover. (I'm working on setting up a backup system here, so I've got recover on the mind).

It's definitely safe to blow away the notify file.

Is it safe to remove all files in the /etc/sm directory?

I belive so.

The F330 is running version 3.1c

mm-hmm. I've run just about all the versions since 2.something-early, up to 4.0.1c. 3.1c is pretty good.
