Hi,

I have a strange phenonemon on our TSM Server (5.3.2.2, z/Linux).
I have a node ("oldnode") with old data I have imported some time ago
from our ADSM Server (3.x z/VM).

"q occ oldnode /filespace1" shows me the following:
number of files: 441.029
phyical space occupied: 1.089.444 MB

I generated a filelist on the client with
"q backup -inact -subdir=yes /filespace1/ > mylist"

"wc -l mylist" tells me that there are only about 189.553 files. Also
when I calculate the sum of the filesizes shown in the filelist I only
get about 117 GB. I don't have this discrepancy on other nodes.

There is also another thing that I noticed. There are a lot of strange
directories in backup, which all have the ending ",dir". E.g there are
the following directories:
           512  B  10/27/03   23:07:22    STANDARD
I  /filespace1/doc,dir
           512  B  10/27/03   23:07:22    STANDARD
I  /filespace1/dxf,dir
           512  B  10/27/03   23:07:22    STANDARD
I  /filespace1/etc,dir
           512  B  10/27/03   23:07:22    STANDARD
I  /filespace1/formulare,dir
           512  B  10/27/03   23:07:48    STANDARD
I  /filespace1/gii,dir
           512  B  10/27/03   23:07:48    STANDARD
I  /filespace1/io,dir

The same directories exist without the ,dir suffixes. Both contain
files. The admin of the server assumed that the cause might be that
these directories were symlinks to other directories.

Anyone else has / had this problem?  Any Ideas? I'm absolutely
confused....

regards,

Volker
