The admin is trying to restore an entire filesystem onto a newly
formatted server. The restore gets interrupted with ANS1028S errors
and the dsmerror.log file shows:

01/04/2006 18:52:29 TransErrno: Unexpected error from open, errno = 4

01/04/2006 18:52:31 ANS1028S Internal program error. Please see
your service representative.

The restore will fail at different points after just a few files
restored or after several 10,000's. Search IBM, ADMS-L and Google
don't get me any relevant hits. If it's the same errono as AIX the
4 is interrupted system call.

Well, Bill, that situation certainly left you as the customer with
useless information.

Errno 4 is EINTR, which is the general error number for when a
program has received a Signal as it was sitting waiting for a (slow)
system call to complete. Ostensibly, the open() was being performed
on the latest file system object being restored. The key to this
would be the signal number. Look in the Linux /var/log/messages to
see if anything there.

You may be dealing with a problem disk or a finicky configured
operating system. (Maybe trying to run Security Enhanced Linux, with
all its caveats?) You might try a recursive copy of some other file
system into that area, and see if that, too, fails: that failure
might provide more info as to what's going on.
