Ignite Warning/Error on HPUX 11.23

Darren Etheridge_2 — Fri, 22 Oct 2010 17:11:23 GMT

When I performed a ignite on our HP rp7420 system this morning I received the following message:

WARNING: There was a problem with the list of files/directories to archive.
Input: /var/opt/ignite/recovery/2010-10-22,11:59/flist
The following line(s) had too few/incorrect entries:
Problem lines:
line: 1 120755 1287718936 17 0 NA 1 0x61 0x40000003
* Archive created and rewind the tape to beginning of tape.

Should I be concearned with this?

Have you looked for that line in flist?
Does the file have spaces in it?

>below is the 1st line

Not first line, a line that matches what's displayed. (Unfortunately that message doesn't mean "line 1".)

(Don't be. I made that mistake too. ;-)

>1 120755 1287718936 17 0 NA 1 0x61 0x40000003

It appears that the filename is missing.

If you can figure out what the fields mean, perhaps one of them is the inode, 1287718936?

That initial "1" appears to be the length of the filename. If you can find the directory that has "%monitor_bpr" you may be close.

(Hmm, if the length is in the record, it should be able to parse files with spaces.)

%monitor_bpr seems to be a file in the root directory... with bin:bin permissions

What's its inode?

Try: ll -i /%monitor_bpr

It appears the only useful info for that file seems to be the size:
find / -size 17c -xdev

This may be the timestamp: 1287718936
