mbernhardt Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 I installed glib 1.2 and Retro client on Solaris 9. I understand that it's not officially supported, but maybe some Solaris guru will be able to give me a push in the right direction here: I have an intermittent problem which causes a -519 error when backing up the client to myWin2K Retrospect server. In var/adm/messages, I get Retrospect[184]: [iD 837007 daemon.error] connTCPConnection: non-stream packet too large: 1885536268 This happens part way through the backup of my /usr partition, and last long enough that after /usr fails /var can't get started and fails also. If I restart the I am wondering if anyone knows why this error appears and what I might do about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Hi I'm hanging by a thread here. You said "if I restart the..." Can you finish that statement? Thanks nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbernhardt Posted April 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Sorry about that! Here's the rest of the sentence: ... backup it goes fine the rest of the way. I am going to set up a sniffer to monitor the connection and maybe I'll catch something. By the way, both times it happened (2 out of 4 backups) the number at the end of the message was the same. No clue what that message means...does someone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Hi I hate to say it but I just don't know. Are you backing up any really large files? Does it happen with specific volumes or just any time? Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbernhardt Posted April 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 The server is a DNS server with not a lot of anything else going on. When it happens it's on the /usr partition, but it wasn't in the same place (i.e. not the same amount of data had been copied so it wasn't likely the same file. The only big file there was that I tarred /usr/local/lib just in case that old 1.2 version of glib broke something. Don't know how big it was, it's gone now. /export has some bigger files, but no problems backing it up. Any clue what the message means? What is the number at the end?

mbernhardt Posted April 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 So here's a question: What is the purpose of the symbolic link rcl in the client directory? The reason I'm asking is, when I first installed the retro client, I moved the S99retro script from rc3.d to rc2.d. It's just part of our security policy that we don't use rc3.d. When I discovered that link, I remade it to the proper target location. Since then I have had no problems. Is it coincidence or something else?

natew Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Hi My gut says it is a coincidence. Although I don't have any info either way to back it up. Sorry Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbernhardt Posted May 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 I would have thought it's coincidence too, but I have not had a single error on that server- or any other Solaris 9 server- since I fixed that symbolic link. It's been weeks now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Interesting. I must admit I am stumped. Can you post the syntax you used when you fixed the link? Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbernhardt Posted May 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Nothing special- in the dantz client directory: rm rcl ln -s /etc/rc2.d/S99retro [or whatever it is] rcl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
