	  restored socket and error messages are reported by the
	  Volume Restore Disk Agent (VRDA):

	   "Cannot set owner: |2| No such file or directory...
	    Cannot set mode...
	    Cannot preserve time attributes: (|2| No such
	    file or directory)."

	Change Request: H555011933

	  During backup minor error is reported:

	   "|Minor| From: VBDA@<host> ""  Time:<time>
	   |81:84|   /<path>
	   Cannot read ACLs: (|2| No such file or directory)."

	  exec script, vbda sometimes ends abnormally.

	Change Request: H555010763
	  During the JFS 3.3 backup error is reported:

	  Filesystem backup fails with an error:

	  "|Major| From: BSM@<computer> "<object>"  Time: <time>
	   |61:3003| Lost connection to VBDA named <object>

	Change Request: H555009425
	  Files are corrupted after restore.

	Change Request: H555009435
	  Restore session on HP-UX with VXFS 3 reports error:

	    "Cannot restore ACLs"

	  for every file restored.

	Change Request: H555009718
	   During the JFS 3.3 backup the following error is
	   reported:

	PHSS_26343:
	Change Request: H555006667
	  Backup of a JFS 3.3 filesystem reports error:

	    "Cannot read ACLs: ([21] Is a directory)".

Defect Description:
	PHSS_30329:
	Change Request: H555011415
	  32-bit file permissions for Linux are excluded.

	  Resolution:
	  32-bit file permissions for Linux are included.

	Change Request: H555011790
	  If a block on the first tape is written but drive reports
	  a failure, the block is written again on the second tape
	  during a backup. When restoring, both blocks are read
	  and a sequence number checking reports error.

	  Resolution:
	  A sequence number checking is changed and will only
	  report a warning if a duplicated block is encountered
	  and continue with restore.

	Change Request: H555011846
	  Socket path is truncated due to a system limitation
	  of storing socket path only up to 93 charactors.

	  Resolution:
	  Socket can be restored in a socket path only with
	  a socket name.

	Change Request: H555011933
	  Backup reads the "mnttab" file for filesystem options
	  and mistakes the "ioerror" for the "ro" (read only)
	  option.

	  Resolution:
	  Backup reads the "mnttab" file and treats "ro" option as
	  a read only option.

	  Part of SSPUX410_084.

	Change Request: H555012065
	  Comparing directories to be restored with excluded
	  directories can lead to wrong results if directory
	  names are similar but of different length.

	  Resolution:
	  Comparing of similar directory names is reimplemented.

	  Part of SSPUX410_085.

	PHSS_29873:
	Change Request: H555010191
	  When performing backup of non existing soft links
	  in some special cases minor error is reported.

	  Resolution:
	  Minor error is no longer reported for non existing
	  soft links.

	Change Request: H555010448
	  Accessing argv which points to null causes vbda on
	  Solaris to end abnormally.

	  Resolution:
	  Pointer is checked before accessing argv.

	Change Request: H555010763
	  Wrong parameter is passed to ioctl.

	  Part of SSPUX410_079.

	  Resolution:
	  Correct parameter is passed.

	Change Request: H555011348
	  VBDA tries to reset time attributes that do not
	  need to be reset.

	  Resolution:
	  VBDA checking changed.

	PHSS_28335:
	Change Request: H555007992
	  Last message from Disk Agent is sometimes lost. This
	  causes Disk Agent's status reported as "Failed".

	  Resolution:
	  New OmniBack II environment variable:
	    OB2VBDASLEEPBEFORECLOSE
	  is introduced.
	  Its default value is 0. Setting it to a positive
	  number, in /<OMNIBACK_HOME>/.omnirc file specifies
	  number of seconds to pass before Disk Agent completes
	  after sending the last block of data.
	  Sleep time insignificantly influences backup
	  performance.

	Change Request: H555008823
	  These specific errors should be skipped, but they are
	  not.

	  Resolution:
	  Checking for infinite symbolic link and links to NFS
	  added.

	Change Request: H555009032
	  When option "omit deleted files" is enabled for restore
	  it ignores options "no overwrite" and "keep most
	  recent" although it should not.

	  Resolution:
	  "omit deleted files" option is properly interpreted
	  when used together with "no overwrite" and/or "keep
	  most recent" options.

	Change Request: H555009141
	  In case that JFS 3.3 File System has a softlink which
	  points to different File System, read of ACL's can fail.

	  Resolution:
	  Disk Agent ignores such error in case of softlinks.

	Change Request: H555009249
	  Raw disk restore does not work correctly on Tru 64
	  systems if disks are grouped into logical units.

	  Resolution:
	  New OmniBack II environment variable OB2NODIOCWLABEL is
	  introduced. This should be added to the file
	  /<OMNIBACK_HOME>/.omnirc. In case that this variable
	  is set to "1", OmniBack II does not perform disk
	  related ioctl() commands.

	  NOTE: In case that OmniBack II variable is set,
	  and restore is started on the normal raw disk, restore
	  reports that disk is "Read-only file system" and aborts.

	
	Change Request: H555009425
	  In case that OB2ALIGN variable is set backup is
	  corrupt and restore is not possible.

	  Resolution:
	  Backup disk agent is fixed in order to work correctly
	  with OB2ALIGN option.

	Change Request: H555009435
	  If files are backed up on JFS filesystem and restored
	  to VXFS filesystem, minor error is reported for every
	  file restored.

	  Resolution:
	  Message "Destination file system does not support ACLs!"
	  is added and is reported only once, subsequent error
	  messages are suppressed.

	Change Request: H555009718
	   Wrong parameter is passed to "ioctl".

	  Resolution:
	   Parameter passed to "ioctl" is corrected.

	Change Request: B555014163
	  On kernel versions 2.4.14 - 2.4.18, function lseek()
	  fails with errno=EINVAL when seeking past the end of
	  a raw disk section. This is a non-POSIX behaviour and
	  is not expected by Disk Agent PosixCapacity() function.
	  PosixCapacity() often seeks past the end of raw disk
	  section and attempts to read there. Only when the read
	  fails, PosixCapacity() determines that the disk size
	  is smaller than the current offset.

	  Resolution:
	  When lseek() fails with EINVAL, PosixCapacity()
	  immediately assumes that offset is to big.

	PHSS_26343:
	Change Request: H555006667
	  In case that JFS 3.3 filesystem contains LOFS, Disk
	  Agent is not able to get ACL's for such files because
	  they do not exist.

	  Resolution:
	  Disk Agent ignores error in case of LOFS.
