Error description

  • During a client restore operation, the permissions of the
    filesystem mount point directories may not be restored properly.
    For example, /mnt/data is the name of the filesystem to be
    restored:
    
       Filesystem    Size  Used  Avail  Use%   Mounted on
       /dev/data     3.0G   69M   2.8G    3%   /mnt/data
    
    The output from a SELECT statement issued against the Tivoli
    Storage Manager server confirms that the /mnt/data mount point
    directory exists and is owned by the 'tsminst1' user:
    
             NODE_NAME: CLIENTA
        FILESPACE_NAME: /mnt/data
          FILESPACE_ID: 25
                 STATE: ACTIVE_VERSION
                  TYPE: DIR
               HL_NAME: /
               LL_NAME:
             OBJECT_ID: 99999999
           BACKUP_DATE: 2014-02-02 11:02:26.000000
       DEACTIVATE_DATE:
                 OWNER: tsminst1
            CLASS_NAME: DEFAULT
    
    A restore operation performed against the /mnt/data filesystem
    appears to show that the mount point directory is successfully
    restored:
    
       # dsmc restore /mnt/data/ -subdir=yes -replace=yes
    
       ANS1247I Waiting for files from the server...
       Restoring           4,096 /mnt/data/ [Done]
       Restoring     404,090,880 /mnt/data/files.tar [Done]
    
       Restore processing finished.
    
       Total number of objects restored:             2
       Total number of objects failed:               0
       Total number of bytes transferred:       385.38 MB

       Elapsed processing time:               00:00:10
    
    However, the permissions (owner/group) of the /mnt/data mount
    point directory are not properly restored as expected:
    
       #ls -lrtd /mnt/data
       drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec  2 11:58 /mnt/data
