Hi folks

We are running 4.0f with UFS filesystem on our AW255s, AS1000As, DS20s and ES40s.
Though vrestore is AdvFS utility we employed it to do our backups,
because they say it's more reliable (error correction) and we liked its -D option.

We never had any problems with vdump/vrestore,
our backups had been used to rebuild boxes on several occasions.
Until yesterday.

We couldn't vrestore partitions (previosly vdumped) with sizes greater than 1.2 Gb.
I mean not the size of partition but the size of the information on that partition.

Smaller sizes worked just fine.

vrestore produced the fillowing error:
"vrestore: ino_tbl_add_dir(0); parent ino not found"

man pages and the couple of books we have didn't provide any answers.

We would much appreciate any clues regarding this issue.

P.S. BTW, I used dump/restore on those "difficult" partitions and it worked just fine.
