[Opensim-users] Troubles with OAR and IAR files following HD crash

Wed Apr 25 03:05:01 UTC 2012

Is it exactly the same failures every time?  What happens if you dump out the asset using the "dump asset" command on 
the robust console?  (don't do this on region in case it's cached).  Does the dump output appear to contain the assets? 
  What exactly are they, serialized object files, textures?
