When the db map is created in fsaudit, all directories in dirdb are added.

 

 

The update_mask field in the db map entry indicates whether or not the

 

 

directory should be there. This field was not being initialized, so directories

 

 

were occasionally being reported as missing even though they existed.

 

 

 

All

568

fsrecover was failing because of memory requirements that were caused by

 

 

the journal_table being calloc for every record in the journal but not being freed

 

 

before the calloc. fsrecover is now freeing the journal_table memory.

 

 

 

All

570

For veritas vxfs filesystems, an overwrite of an existing file that has a valid tape

 

 

copy will generate two events: a create and a truncate. The file object is locked

 

 

by the filesystem until both events are processed. This causes a potential

 

 

deadlock in the dmapi process if the create list is processed before the

 

 

truncate event is processed. To prevent this deadlock, the dmapi process was

 

 

modified so the create list is processed by a separate thread.

 

 

 

All

572

Changed the EMASS logo to the ADIC logo on the FileServ graphical user

 

 

interface (fswin gui).

 

 

 

Known Problems

The following table lists unresolved problems:

588

When fsundelete command is executed, occasionally it does not completely

Solaris

936

undelete all the files on the undelete list because of a timing issue.

958

 

 

Workaround: To overcome this problem, run the fsundelete command again

 

 

 

 

on the unrestored file(s). The fsundelete command does not retrieve any

 

 

secondary copies of files that were deleted, only the primary copy is retrieved.

 

 

Do not use the -foption (force) with the command on a file that resides on

 

 

disk only. The command will fail and an error message will appear instructing

 

 

you how to correctly execute the command.

 

 

 

IRIX

904

Occasionally, the fsrmcopy command incorrectly reports that it successfully

Solaris

 

removed a file. This happens if the file is open and fsrmdiskcopy is run on that

 

file.

 

 

 

 

Workaround: To ensure that the file was removed, run fsfileinfo again. To

 

 

successfully run the fsrmcopy command on a file, the user must have read,

 

 

write or execute permissions.
