I have the following problem with sles 9.0 and restoring files.
situation: We have a linux fileserver (redhat 8.0) that uses tsm client
5.1.5.0 to backup.
Now I installed a new file server (sles 9.0) with the latest client
(5.2.3.0).
I'm trying to restore data to a certain partition (daten) on the old
system this partition was 130GB in size and on the new system it is
430GB in size.
On both system the /daten is mounted on its own partition.
When I do a "dsmc restore /daten/*  -subdir=yes "  I get the following
error:
Restore function invoked.

** Unsuccessful **
ANS4000E Error processing '': file space does not exist
ANS1247I Waiting for files from the server...
then 95 directory's are restored
and then

Restore Processing Interrupted!! <<<<<<

Total number of objects restored:        95
Total number of objects failed:           1
Total number of bytes transferred:        0  B
Data transfer time:                    0,00 sec
Network data transfer rate:            0,00 KB/sec
Aggregate data transfer rate:          0,00 KB/sec
Elapsed processing time:           00:00:04
ANS4000E Error processing '': file space does not exist

strange thing is that when i specify my restore command more precise
like this
dsmc restore /daten/home/user1/dir1/* -subdir=yes "
then it works just fine, if I specify one directory "less" it gives me
the same error.

thing I tried (with same result)
- make the partition smaller (same size as the orginal one)
- restore to /tmp
- downgrade the client to the same level as the orginal server

What did work no problem is restoring on another redhat 8.0 box.

Is this a kernel 2.6. thing ? (I know it is not supported yet) or is
there something  else i'm missing here.

regards
