[p4] Sanity check

[Jamison, Shawn]

Also check to see if your depot mapping is a relative mapping from the
P4ROOT.
If your depot is named depot and your P4ROOT is c:\p4root then your
depot relative map line would look like this

Map:	depot/...

And your depot files are stored under the c:\p4root\depot directory.

I would suggest contacting tech support. They are your best source of
help for these types of problems.

Also, I assume you ran a verify on the live server as well, and it
didn't report any problems?

MISSING! means that the server couldn't find the archive file, so go and
look to see if the archive file is there or not. If it isn't there, but
it is there on your live server, then I would question the tape backup
process.


BAD! means the archive's MD5 signature doesn't match the one that was
originally generated for the file on the live server. This could be due
to a restore problem as well, or something else changing something in
the file.
This on is more difficult to figure out, but with some help from tech
support, you most likely can find the source of the trouble.
