For now, you can check this: '/gdata/projects/philex/OAG/**2011/May16/mdor3km07/coast_**den2.in<http://coast_den2.in/> This file must exist on one of the backend disks. See if you can directly read from the backend disks. If it is not a bad backend disk, then it is a GlusterFS issue. If you provide us remote access via reverse-ssh / screen or webex, we can quickly narrow down. We don't have a TSM environment in our labs. You can help us validate compatibility. Also I am not sure if TSM allows scripting. If we can make TSM tools use GlusterFS 3.2 marker APIs, then you can achieve continuous backup functionality (backup data as and when it changes, without crawling the name space). It will significantly improve your backup performance (no more backup windows). Marker APIs can even be invoked via shell scripting using attr tools. -- Anand Babu Periasamy Blog [http://www.unlocksmith.org] Imagination is more important than knowledge --Albert Einstein -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
