HP-UX ignite "problem with the list of files/directories to archive"

[K. Munk Kristensen]

Hi...

One of 'my' servers is having a problem with Netignite.

cut from output:
----
NOTE: The following files are in the list of files that were on the
system, but they are no longer present. These files are not
included in the back-up:
/home/hobbit/client/tmp/hobbit_vmstat.2417
/var/tmp/ign_configure/make_sys_image.log

WARNING: There was a problem with the list of files/directories to archive.
Input: /var/opt/ignite/recovery/client_mnt/0x00306EF41BC9/recovery/2006-09-07,01:30/flist
The following line(s) had too few/incorrect entries in each of them.
Problem lines:
line: 1 120755 1123093213 17 0
* Creating CINDEX Configuration File
----

I can not figure out what is wrong with "line: 1"

Nope, no other errors (...and btw. this is 'just' a WARNING) but since 3 other nodes ends with a clean 'OK', I would like to get rid of this WARNING

So do you mean to say ignite complets after this wanring?

What is the command that you use?

[Bernhard Mueller]

Hello,

this pretty much looks like you have file which name consists of one or more non-printing characters only or something similar.

use ls -b to make sure you get rid of any undesirable file names.

you might have to remove it through the i-node in case using "?" as a metacharacter does not work.

Regards,
Bernhard

Yes! checking the files in / showed this 'funny' file link:

Myserver:/# ls -lrtb | grep ^l
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 17 Aug 3 2005 -> /d_cfg_mnt_sb61/.
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 8 Aug 3 2005 bin -> /usr/bin
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 8 Aug 3 2005 lib -> /usr/lib

- and after removing it:
fsddb1a:/# find / -type l -xdev -name " " -exec rm {} \;

my net-ignite ran OK!

Thanks!

Problem solved!
