Restore process dying because of long directory path name
1997-03-13 08:00:12
Hi,
When trying to do a (test) restore of a large user file system
the restore process ended abnormally when trying to create the
needed directory structure. The error occured when a directory
with a _very_ long path name had to be created.
I would have expected that adsm would fail only in this (sub)task
and would continue to create the next directories needed for the
restore process. But in the contrary, the _whole_ restore process
died!!!
That's a great pity, because the dying occured after 1:20 h
(large user file system means 250.000 files in 4.5 GB filespace!),
and we had to restart the restore process after deleting the original
(malformed) directory structure and doing a selective backup of the
parent directory. Now we wait for the next crash ;-(.
Why does ADSM die? Should this not have been fixed as soon as possible?
Otherwise every student could prevent us from doing correct
backup/restore by simple using/typing a short shell script which
creates a directory in a directory in a directory.... you know what i mean!
Hope to hear from anybody soon ;-)
Bye,
/dh
