Hi,
I got our SAN admin to review the config of the CIFS filesystem
and we made some minor changes.
Then I used the UNIX recover command shell to browse & restore a directory
from March 2007 with 88Gb of data in it. The response took about 30 minutes
and we had the directory back. So now I suspect that we had the following
issues:
1) recover by SSID seems impossible - the system scans the
volume list for 30 hours and does nothing but create an empty directory.
2) The CIFS datamover had some misconfiguration that was probably
an oversight.
3) The Windows client would not work properly at all. I presume it
was trying to store a gigantic file list that ultimately locked up
the system over and over so it was useless for a recover.
4) The UNIX recover shell seems to be the only way to get the
data back, in chunks. I don't mind doing it this way as long
as it works.
Thanks for the help! We were getting quite worried.
