Assertion check at "tree.c-4039"

[ber]

I tried my first restore (Mac OS X 10.1.5, Restrospect Server). A folder from a user's directory from a client machine.

 

 

 

Trouble in Retrospect:

 

 

 

Internal consistency check failed:

 

Assertion check at "tree.c-4039"

 

 

 

I didn't see this described in tech note 307 or elsewhere via search. Can anyone say what it means?

 

 

 

Thanks,

Hey, ber, can you provide some information regarding your hardware?

 

 

 

For example, where is the data stored? Tape? CD? etc?

Sure, The backup set is stored on a firewire file and I was trying to recover to a folder in my home directory.

When. exactly, do you get the assert? If you restart, do you get it again?

 

 

 

Thanks,

I got the Assert when I clicked the "Restore" button in the "Restore from Backup" window and then the really restore button. It forced me to quit restrospect. When I restarted and retried the operation (just now) I did not get the assertion error.

 

 

 

Do you know what line 4039 of tree.c is asserting?

 

 

 

Thanks,

If the assert isn't reproducible, then we can't get much information from just that string. The context and steps to reproduce contain more relevant information.

[ber]

But the string contains the source file name and the line number. If it didn't indicate the precise problem it would almost certainly give a very strong hint. That's why programmers use assert() functions. I would of course prefer to prevent the condition rather than have it occur unexpectedly when I'm trying to do a restore. I am guessing you do not have access to the source.

 

 

 

Thanks,
