Managers,

I am looking for assistance with a problem I had over the weekend. I was
doing an UFS to ADVFS conversion to a new disk. This allowed me to run a
vrestore piped from a vdump -

vdump -0f - -D /data | vrestore -xf - -D /tmp_data

I got many errors like these -

vrestore: error setting extended attributes 22
vrestore: error setting extended attributes 22
vrestore: error setting extended attributes 22
vrestore: error setting extended attributes 22

>From researching these, it looks like we are going to need to go to the
latest patch kit to fix some vrestore errors. I was just looking for
confirmation that this will fix my problem, and allow me to upgrade my
disks.

Secondly, I aborted the job, presuming my data (Oracle databases etc) would
be unusable. Could anyone shed light on what exactly the error means? I
can't find a good explanation for what was happening. Also, why would it not
have occurred when I ran a full partition restore, from tape, only the night
before - without errors?

Thanks,
Alan
