    Hello,

    If I'm not mistaken, /var/adm/ras/errlog is a revolving log file.
    It remains the same size when cleared. The file simply begins
    overwriting from the top when it gets to the bottom. Not sure
    how this is implemented. Try running strings on it before and
    after you clear it:
    # strings /var/adm/ras/errlog | less
    # errclear 00
    # strings /var/adm/ras/errlog | less

    Mike
