Hello,

(AIX 4.3.3, 4.2.0.0 client, 4.2.1.2 server)

I just noticed something funny.

I'm restoring several file systems from
node A on node B.

Node A has a unlimited maximum file size.
Node B has a maximum file size of 1 GB.
The file systems I'm restoring contain several
files > 1 GB
When the client on node B tries to restore such a
file it produces an error message:

ANS4025E Error processing '/blah/blah/blah': file exceeds user or system
file limit

At this point I would expect the client to discard
the part of the file it has already restored.
But it doesn't! It just leaves the first
1 GB on the file on disk. So when I had adjusted
the maximum file size on node B and did a new
restore with the -replace and -ifnewer flags
it skipped those incomplete files because they already
existed.
I had to go through the activity log to search for the
ANS4025E's and manually restore every file > 1 GB.

I don't understand why the client doesn't discard incomplete
files...

Regards,

Alexander
