Question about a strange error on netbackup 5.1mp3 a

[Alex_Vasquez]

Hello all,
I recently ran into a strange error while conducting routine backups on an AIX 5 system. The master/media server is running windows server 2003.
There are about 6 or 7 files that get backed up. One of them /usr seems to be the problem here. Once my backup tape mounts, the following error will start to come up in the job details:

ERR - Cannot lstat64 nls/Γ▀� N╟. Errno = 89: Invalid file system control data detected.

I've checked to see if the file system /usr does, in fact, exist on the client machine and I see that it does. So I'm not sure what's going on there. I also tried to check the 'follow NFS' option. I can't seem to find anything on this issue. So any help or suggestions are appreciated.

Hi Alex,
This is a input/output error, verify the dmesg and messages logs to determine who files are corrupted.

Apparently the Lstat error refers to an issue where a Call or request is made on a directory, in this case /usr, and the request can't be performed. This is not a Netbackup issue, but an OS one instead. In this instance the resolution was very 'Microsoft' in that the afflicted system was rebooted and the problem went away...

Alex, thank you so much for the update

lstat frequently indicates a mounting problem

The last time I ran into this error, it was due to disk corruption. I had to take the server down and run fsck on the partition in question. That cleared things up.
