I recently did a large restore, 25Gb in 177 minutes. At a first glance
it seemed to have succeeded, but now I find that in some directories
files have been misplaced. I am restoring from one windows client to
another using rsyncd.
To be precise, the data is still there, but the filenames have been
mismatched. I only noticed because I opened a document and was presented
with the content of a different document. Searching the directory
revealed that the document I was looking for was still there, but under
a different name. As far as I can tell all document names have been
mismatched. I am not sure yet if any are missing at all. It appears to
have happened only on files in directories whose names start with "# ".
So going back to the backup server, I find that if I open the file from
the backup server, there is no problem. In fact, when I downloaded a tar
file of the backup and untarred it, all files where oke.
Also, when I try to restore one of the subdirectories that has its files
mismatched, the restore succeeds. It seems that it only goes wrong when
I restore all, or maybe most of the data.
So in summary:
1. A full restore mismatches filenames in some but not all
directories. Only directories starting with # appear to be affected.
2. The files can be restored correctly individually from the backup
server.
3. The files are named correctly in a tar download of the entire backup.
Any suggestions as to what might be wrong?

Erik van Linstee
