Hi, we just encounteded one of our worst nightmare, the VAXStation 3100
(running VMS 5.3) died probably because it ran out of disk space for  
the AUDIT process.  Since the AUDIT process tried to write into the
full disk in the process of rebooting, there seemed to be no way that we
can bring the system up.  We tried to boot it from a stand alone tape but
it won't access to any of the disks.  Can anyone suggest any help?  Thanks...
