I see this message on one of my VMS machines.  One particular disk has
79 quadrillion-googleplex-muchomany (well....., not that many, but a
lot) of small files on it.  Legato reads the directory before backing
up, but aborts during the directory read, and I get the inactivity
message.   

We haven't done a workaround yet, but it will probably involve mapping
parts of the disk to other disks that are smaller, or breaking up this
massive disk into smaller parts.

Hey All,

 

I'm wondering if anyone might be able to shed some light on a problem
I've be troubleshooting.

 

Server: Sun E450/Solaris2.6/SBU 6.1.3

Client: Compaq/Win 2K3 cluster/Legato 7.0 client

 

I get the below failure on full backups(incremental backups complete
successfully).

 

* client1.nt.wfubmc.edu:P: 1 retry attempted

* client1.nt.wfubmc.edu:P: 01/02/04 08:53:23 nsrexec: Attempting a kill
on remote save

* client1.nt.wfubmc.edu:P: 01/02/04 08:58:23 nsrexec: Attempting a kill
on remote save

* client1.nt.wfubmc.edu:P: write: Broken pipe

* client1.nt.wfubmc.edu:P: aborted due to inactivity

 

I've increase the savegroup timeout to 360 and it made no difference.

 

I can run the backup directly from client1 successfully, but when I
start it from the backup server it fails.  When it fails it always seems
to fail at 42GB.  So I thought maybe there as a bad file or something
like that causing it to hang, but when it ran successfully directly from
the client that killed that theory.  I'm kind of stumped right now.

 

Anyone ever have a similar problem?

 

Thanks,

 

Joel
