Nelson and group,

So if you see <1>,<2>,<3> etc in your daemon.log, you need to fix this now.

fyi

Hi Mark
I had this 2GB chunking problem too, along with another problem to do with the 
creating files in nsr/tmp on Networer 7.4.5...

* xxxx:VSS ASR DISK:\ save: There was an error creating the file: "C:\Program 
Files\Legato\nsr\tmp\sd00001e" errno: 17

I applied patch LGTOpatch20091019 on the clients concerned and that has fixed 
both problems for me.

I can easily make this available to you if you want to try it (I have the 32bit 
and 64 bit Windows versions).
Just drop me an email if you want them.

Cheeers... Allan.

I applied this "fix" yesterday, and all the clients with 7.4 SP5 are
still doing the 2GB chunking. I've opened a case with EMC, and the best
I've got so far, is that this is a "feature". They suggested I upgrade
to NW 7.5.1.6 to fix the issue. Unreal.

Note, I am running our server on Solaris 10, so maybe the
NSR_FAIL_ON_AUTH_ERROR   =   YES fix does not apply with Solaris.

I'm currently asking EMC for a full set of 7.4.4 clients, which didn't
exhibit the "feature".

Thanks for the reply.

Btw - thanks Johannes!

We had this problem in our site when we were running NetWorker 7.4.4 32Bit on
Windows.

An EMC engineer we had working for us on site fixed it by putting this 
environment
variable on the NW server and all the storage nodes.

NSR_FAIL_ON_AUTH_ERROR   =   YES

Strangely, it's not documented on powerlink. But it worked for us.

I am also seeing this "Continuation Saveset" issue on clients that are
running 7.4 SP5 downloaded last week from EMC's site. I've seen it
happen on a Windows Sever 2008 box, as well as an OS-X box.

 From my daemon.log for the OS-X box:

Any thoughts in the group as to why this is happening?

Continuation savesets?  That's a blast from the past.

Are you running the released version of 7.4.5 or have you applied any
additional patches?  I ask because when EMC gives out debug binaries,
sometimes those are configured with a ss cutoff size that causes
continuation savesets to be used.
