listxattr() failed message
Hello all.
NB 7 server (Windows), NB 6.5 Linux client (32 bit). I have one schedule that handles only NFS shares, none NDMP. The schedule always fails with this error message in the client bpbkar log file:
listxattr() failed on '/qtrees/nfs_storage/'. Errno = 95: Operation not supported
I can't seem to find any information on this listxattr() call that is failing. Can someone shed some light on this?
Many thanks
If the NFS share has huge amount of small files the backup may die because of timeouts. Try to run the backup of the nfs share manual like this:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpbkar -nocont -nofileinfo -nokeepalives /qtrees/nfs_storage/ > /dev/null 2> /tmp/file.out
This command will read all files but don't send the data to the Netbackup Master/media server.
Remember to add VERBOSE to bp.conf and create the touch file bpbkar_path_tr on the client in /usr/openv/netbackup. Inspect the log in /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bpbkar/ while the command is running. It should list every files it reads. If the backup stop, re-run to see if it stop on the same path.
Just watch out for thesapce used by the bpbkar debug log. It will grow very quick.
