Hi,
Can anyone explain why this command misbehaves:
# dsmc restore /etc/lp -subdir=yes -todate=01/20/1998 -latest
It starts restoring other stuff in /etc (other than lp, that is).
The things that trigger it are (all must be true):
1. the /etc/lp directory is completely gone
2. Another file called 'lp' appears somewhere under /etc
(in this case /etc/init.d/lp)
3. I specify '/etc/lp' rather than '/etc/lp/*'
I'm using the solaris(2.5.1) client (2.1.0.7), but I can reproduce the
problem on AIX by creating the directories mentioned above.
I can work around this by specifying '/etc/lp/*', but it seems an
overly harsh punishment for it to restore everything under /etc.
Example:
[root@rachel] /etc # df -k /
Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c0t3d0s0 31239 14098 14021 51% /
[root@rachel] /etc # ls -ld /etc/lp
drwxrwxr-x 9 lp lp 512 Jan 26 21:34 /etc/lp
[root@rachel] /etc # ls -l /etc/lp
total 28
