Andrew,

We saw (and actually still see occasionally) this problem. After a few weeks with Legato's tech support, someone on this list (or a Novell list) recommended back-revving to tcp659j. Doing this helped tremendously (we had one volume that would do nothing more than throw RPC errors after a few hundred GB). I have seen it once since. We saw the problem with NetWare 6.5 SP4a + client 7.2 and RH9 + Networker 7.1.3 server.

I was able to reproduce the error with a 0KB file I found on the volume and I have a hunch (unconfirmed as yet) the issue is related to strange filenames resulting from code page mismatches (between NetWare server and a client).

I cannot get Legato to tell me what the core issue is or under what circumstances it can be reproduced, yet they will say it is a Novell problem, for whatever that's worth.
