Thank you for the reply Joachim. I've been looking around for
documentation on this issue and the only thing I can find (so far) is
this:

    Novell  NetWare Incident:           2841045
    Failing NetWare OS Version:         NW5.1, NW6.0
    Failing SMS/TSA Modules & Version:
    Failing Service Pack/TSA up Level:  NW5.1 (ALL), NW6.0 SP2 or
lower.
    FIXING  SERVICE PACK/TSA UP LEVEL:  NW6.0 SP3

    Description:
        TSAs unable to backup files over 4GB.

    Circumvention or Fix:
        Install fixing Service Pack.  File size reported during backup
will
        be incorrect but backup will complete correctly.

It doesn't mention NetWare 6.5 in there. Is it still the same issue
though?

Joachim

Betreff: Archive fails with >4GB files


We're seeing archive attempts failing on files in excess of 4GB. The
archive seems to be fine until 4GB are transferred and then stops as
if
things were finished in a normal fashion. This entry in the
DSMERROR.LOG
file corresponds with the stop point:

10/26/2004 15:47:54 Attempt to free unknown pointer. Addr a855af00,
File procopts.cpp, Line 6901
10/26/2004 15:47:54 Attempt to free unknown pointer. Addr a855af00,
File procopts.cpp, Line 6903

The TSM Server is at 5.2.3.2 and the client is on a NetWare 6.5 SP2
server going through a clustered NetWare volume. The TSM client code
is
5.02.03 and the TSAFS version is 6.50.09. Has anyone else seen this or
better yet solved it?
