make_net_recovery/pax: bogus file?

[Peter Heinemann]

make_net_recovery is failing with an error apparently out of pax. If I understand the log correctly, it's finding a bogus/corrupt file (looking for a file with windoze syntax?)
If this is the case, any suggestions on how to clean it out (find can't find it)?
If it's not the case, any ideas why make_net/pax is gacking?

Never Mind!

Found the reference to flist in a previous post, used it to trace down the offender.

Peter,

it's known problem that Ignite fails to backup files containing backslashes in their filenames. JAGaf01832.

Workaround:

Change the filter_dead_files() function, coded in the
script /opt/ignite/data/scripts/make_sys_image to use the -r option
with print:

filter_dead_files() {
# NREad from standard-in and then check for any files
# that are no longer on the system and remove them
# from the list. Also note that the files in the list
# have been stripped of their first "/". Therefore,
# it has been added for the test.
while read -r FILE_IN
do
# Check if file exists and is readable. If not, do not archive.
if [[ -r "/${FILE_IN}" || -L "/${FILE_IN}" || -S "/${FILE_IN}" \
|| -p "/${FILE_IN}" || -b "/${FILE_IN}" || -c "/${FILE_IN}" \
|| -d "/${FILE_IN}" || -f "/${FILE_IN}" ]]; then
# The calling program accepts all output, so just do so.
print -r -- "${FILE_IN}"
else
print -r " /${FILE_IN}" >> ${TMP_GONE_FILE_LIST}
fi
done
} # End filter_dead_files()


Best regards...
Dietmar.
