We're in the midst of a POC and are trying various avenues for doing backups of UDB files. Ones of these avenues is to use VMNFS on our production VM. I have set up an SFS server and set a user up to use BFS. I then point VMNFS to this area. From the Linux running on the IFL, I am able to mount the NFS share and copy files to it. The problem I'm running into is when I use BFSLIST to get a directory listing of the area. If I copy files that are larger than 50meg (see note below) in size, then BFSLIST shifts the name of the file one character to the right. The date is also shifted. This may not seem like a big deal but when I go to delete the file using BFSLIST, it says it cannot find the file because the first character of the file name is blank (it may be a non-displayable character, I don't know). So I tried to rename the file using the BFSLIST rename function and get the same error. Has anyone run into a similar situation? Thanks, Steve
Note: 50meg file names come through ok. 100meg files or larger do not, they always have a blank as the first character of the file name. I've been trying to find files that are between 50meg and 100meg in size to test with but I am having trouble locating them.
