Odds are it is files that were removed ( tmp files etc ) that were removed
between time the list of files to be backed up was created and the files
were actually being backed up.
Common problem and been discussed before.

Folks,
We just started the initial mksysb of one of our servers
We are using a DDS2 120m tape drive and tape
Here's the filesystems in rootvg:
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hd4 32768 9332 23436 29% /
/dev/hd2 786432 529908 256524 68% /usr
/dev/hd9var 458752 20772 437980 5% /var
/dev/hd3 131072 13384 117688 11% /tmp
/dev/hd1 32768 11916 20852 37% /home
/dev/lv00 1015808 623692 392116 62% /scs
/dev/lv01 14352384 3941976 10410408 28% /opt/oracle
Oracle processing is up.
Here's the end of the mksysb results:
21561 of 37047 files (58%)..............................
31776 of 37047 files (85%)..........................
0512-003 mksysb may not have been able to archive some files.
The messages displayed on the Standard Error contained additional
information.
I researched and found that a DDS2 tape should handle:
4GB with no compression
8GB with compression
According to SMIT, the tape drive is using compression
Can this be as a result of a bogus compression configuration or that the
Oracle
databases were up during the mksysb?
Thanks!
