frecover warning

[Shahril M]

Hi folks,

I am trying to restore some data into a test server with frecover and got the flwg:
[hptest3 :/ ] frecover -x -g /tmp/g -f /dev/rmt/2m
frecover(1069): cannot set ACLs for download; file recovered without ACLs.
frecover(1069): cannot set ACLs for interface; file recovered without ACLs.

Anyone can shed some light on what these mean?


Thanx,
Shahril

Hi Shahril,

It says it could not be able to restore the ACLs for the files. Where did you backup the files first?. The chances are

1. the filesystem doesn't support ACLS like JFS versions prior to 4.
2. The frecover command doesn't supprot ACLS. You may have to install a patch to support ACL..

Hi,

this mean that your ACL (Access Control List - aditional permisions) to files will be ignored - it is important only for HFS File System.

If you have vxfs file system ignore it.

probably the machine where the files are recovered does not support ACLs.

check the man pages of
frecover for the option '-A'

Hi,

The files originate from a G/H class server, and there are some FSs on HFS.

I am restoring onto a K-class with all FSs created using vxfs.

Pls confirm these are ignorable warnings, thanx.

Hi,

Unless the version of JFS is 4, ACLs are not supported on this filesystem. These warning can be ignored unless the extended permissions do play a rule in using those files in which case you may have to create a HFS filesystem and restore them.

HFS-VXFS

ignore the warnings.

But make sure the permissions do not hamper your application requirements.

Hi folks,

Thanx for all the replies.

I will bring this to the attention of the application team.
