ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES generating 71 for one stream.

Master server is appliance 5240 on 3.2/8.2 and is acting as media server on this policy.  Client is also 8.2

Backing up to MSDP on the master

Full and Differential jobs are generating a 71 for a particular directory.    /run/user/13276/gvfs

In the detailed status I see

    PaulStevens status 71 - none of the files in the file list exist [Status code reference]

    And /run/user/13726/gvfs indicates a user-space mounted device on the server (gnome virtual file system). Is the file/directory still available on the file system? What do you get when do ls -l /run/user/13726/gvfs ? Secondly, do you need to backup that location?

    We had kind of the same problem and as mentioned in the reply above "/run/user/13726/gvfs indicates a user-space mounted device on the server (gnome virtual file system)" and I don't think you can backup this folders.. therefore , you must exclude them if you don't want to get these errors.

    I forgot to put the solution then, I have just added it now/

      Hi PaulStevens 

      You will want to add an exclude for that "mount" but as it changes you will need a wildcard exclusion. 

      When you use ALL_LOCAL_DRVES, NetBackup uses the bpmount utility to determine all the local file systems. There is nothing under the /run that is really needed to be backed up as it is all transient data - the directory contains system information data describing the system since it was booted. 

      To exclude you will need to put something like "/run/user/*/gvfs" in the exclude_list file on the client as the number will change (depending on who is logged in), it is a specific mount point (one per user logged in) and is unreadable by ordinary means (lookup gvfsd-fuse if you want more details). 

      Cheers
      David

        I do not have access on that server to create the exclude list.  I did however, see in a tech note that the problem occurs with ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES combined with Allow Multiple Data Streams.  I turned off Allow Multiple Data Streams and I got a successful backup.  Since the systems in this policy are small, I did not see a noticeable increase in the backup time.
