Hello all!
I am using scp to copy a filesystem from one system to another periodically.
After switching to v5.1 I noticed the following behavior.
As oracle I run scp -pr /f1/* system@/f2
When the copy hits the lost+found it skips it because its owned by root but then also skips the following file (alphabetically after lost+found). sysaux_01.dbf
No error message no matter how many v's I use.
if I use scp -p it copies all the files correctly, tho of course not the subdirs.
I found if I put a fake file the is alphabetically after lost+found then all gets copied correctly, except of course the fake file.
I looked thru the digest and did not see any reference to this issue.
I tried it on systems running AIX 5.3 & 6.1 and the issue is between all of them and occurs on push or pull, and between 5.3 systems as well as 6.1 and between a 5.3 and 6.1 system.
Has anyone else run into this?
And if so, is there anything I can do other then hack the script to take this into account or putting fake files in the database filesystem ?
thanks!
