Symptoms:
	PHSS_25822:
	Id = NSMex03695, HSLco24526  SR: B554000824, H555004394
	    EMC backup fails if there are more than 256 disks.

	Id = NSMex03739  SR: B554000869
	    Pre- and post-exec scripts return invalid exit status.

	Id = HSLco27622  SR: H555005717
	    SSEA backup fails with an error:

	    "Filesystem <path> could not be mounted.".

	Id = HSLco28507  SR: H555006043
	    Backup fails with an error:

	      "[Minor] From: VRDA@<hostname> "<obj_name>"
	       Time:<time> <filename>
	         Can not open: ([30] Read-only file system)
	         => not restored.".

	PHSS_21653:
	Id = NSMex03014, NSMex03055
	    EMC backup fails with "unknown internal error" when
	    resolving R2 host.

Defect Description:
	PHSS_25822:
	Id = NSMex03695, HSLco24526
	    OmniBack II has a limitation of 256 disks for EMC
	    configuration. If there is a configuration with more
	    than 256 disks, backup fails.

	Resolution:
	    Limitation is increased to 1024 disks.

	    Part of SSPUX310_038, SSPUX310_048.

	Id = NSMex03739
	    Pre- and post-exec scripts return invalid exit status
	    because of timing problem.

	Resolution:
	    Environment variable OB2EXECTIMEOUT is introduced.
	    Variable represents timeout (in seconds) after the end
	    of pre- and post-exec script. Default value is 0.
	    Recommended value is between 5 and 10 seconds.

	Id = HSLco27622
	    Incorrect filesystem options are sent to R2 side.
	    For HFS filesystems the entries in the mnttab file
	    are not updated promptly.

	Resolution:
	    Correct filesystem options are sent to R2 side.
	    /etc/mnttab is promptly updated for HFS filesystem.

	Id = HSLco28507
	    During the restore some file systems are mounted as
	    read-only, so the restore fails.

	Resolution:
	    An additional condition is set for enabling the
	    read-only mode.

	PHSS_21653:
	Id = NSMex03014, NSMex03055
	    The limit for number of disks for one backup is set to
	    64. If the number of disks in one backup specification
	    is bigger than that, the session fails when resolving
	    the R2 host.

	Resolution:
	    Internal limit for number of disks to be backed up has
	    been increased to 256.
	    Part of SSPUX310_013.
