Symptoms:
        PHSS_29873:
        Id = HSLco41183 SR: H555010191
            During backup minor error is reported:

             "|Minor| From: VBDA<host> "" Time:<time>
             |81:84| /<path>
             Cannot read ACLs: (|2| No such file or directory)."

        Id = HSLco41946 SR: H555010448

            exec script, vbda sometimes ends abnormally.

        Id = HSLco42760 SR: H555010763
            During the JFS 3.3 backup error is reported:

             "Cannot get VxFS filesystem options
              (|25| Not a typewriter)=>
              VxFS extent attributes not backed up."

        Id = HSLco44101 SR: H555011348
            During backup error is reported:

             "Cannot preserve time attributes:
              (|30| Read-only file system)."

        PHSS_28335:
        Id = HSLco34580 SR: H555007992
            Filesystem backup fails with an error:

            "|Major| From: BSM<computer> "<object>" Time: <time>
             |61:3003| Lost connection to VBDA named <object>
                on host <host>.
                Ipc subsystem reports: "IPC Read Error
                System error: |232| Connection reset by peer"

        Id = HSLco37244 SR: H555008823
            ACL checking error reported for infinite symbolic links
            and symbolic links to NFS mountpoints.

        Id = HSLco38200 SR: H555009032
            Option "omit deleted files" replaces existing files on
            the disk with files from the backup.

        Id = HSLco38494 SR: H555009141
            Backup of JFS 3.3 File System reports error:

              "Cannot read ACLs: (|13| Permission denied)."

        Id = HSLco39001 SR: H555009249
            Raw disk restore fails on Tru 64 systems.

        Id = HSLco39524 SR: H555009425
            Files are corrupted after restore.

        Id = HSLco39544 SR: H555009435
            Restore session on HP-UX with VXFS 3 reports error:

              "Cannot restore ACLs"

            for every file restored.

        Id = HSLco40333 SR: H555009718
             During the JFS 3.3 backup the following error is
             reported:

             "Cannot get VxFS filesystem options (|25| Not a
              typewriter) => VxFS extent attributes not backed up."

        Id = NSMbb45940 SR: B555014163
            On Linux Operating Systems with kernel versions
            2.4.14 - 2.4.18 raw disk backup reports:

             "cannot compute disk capacity (|22| invalid argument)".

        PHSS_26343:
        Id = HSLco30587 SR: H555006667
            Backup of a JFS 3.3 filesystem reports error:

              "Cannot read ACLs: ([21] Is a directory)".

Defect Description:
        PHSS_29873:
        Id = HSLco41183
            When performing backup of non existing soft links
            in some special cases minor error is reported.

        Resolution:
            Minor error is no longer reported for non existing
            soft links.

        Id = HSLco41946
            Accessing argv which points to null causes vbda on
            Solaris to end abnormally.

        Resolution:
            Pointer is checked before accessing argv.

        Id = HSLco42760
            Wrong parameter is passed to ioctl.

            Part of SSPUX410_079.

        Resolution:
            Correct parameter is passed.

        Id = HSLco44101
            VBDA tries to reset time attributes that do not
            need to be reset.

        Resolution:
            VBDA checking changed.

        PHSS_28335:
        Id = HSLco34580
            Last message from Disk Agent is sometimes lost. This
            causes Disk Agent's status reported as "Failed".

        Resolution:
            New OmniBack II environment variable:
              OB2VBDASLEEPBEFORECLOSE
            is introduced.
            Its default value is 0. Setting it to a positive
            number, in /<OMNIBACK_HOME>/.omnirc file specifies
            number of seconds to pass before Disk Agent completes
            after sending the last block of data.
            Sleep time insignificantly influences backup
            performance.

        Id = HSLco37244
            These specific errors should be skipped, but they are
            not.

        Resolution:
            Checking for infinite symbolic link and links to NFS
            added.

        Id = HSLco38200
            When option "omit deleted files" is enabled for restore
            it ignores options "no overwrite" and "keep most
            recent" although it should not.

        Resolution:
            "omit deleted files" option is properly interpreted
            when used together with "no overwrite" and/or "keep
            most recent" options.

        Id = HSLco38494
            In case that JFS 3.3 File System has a softlink which
            points to different File System, read of ACL's can fail.

        Resolution:
            Disk Agent ignores such error in case of softlinks.

        Id = HSLco39001
            Raw disk restore does not work correctly on Tru 64
            systems if disks are grouped into logical units.

        Resolution:
            New OmniBack II environment variable OB2NODIOCWLABEL is
            introduced. This should be added to the file
            /<OMNIBACK_HOME>/.omnirc. In case that this variable
            is set to "1", OmniBack II does not perform disk
            related ioctl() commands.

            NOTE: In case that OmniBack II variable is set,
            and restore is started on the normal raw disk, restore
            reports that disk is "Read-only file system" and aborts.

        Id = HSLco39524
            In case that OB2ALIGN variable is set backup is
            corrupt and restore is not possible.

        Resolution:
            Backup disk agent is fixed in order to work correctly
            with OB2ALIGN option.

        Id = HSLco39544
            If files are backed up on JFS filesystem and restored
            to VXFS filesystem, minor error is reported for every
            file restored.

        Resolution:
            Message "Destination file system does not support ACLs!"
            is added and is reported only once, subsequent error
            messages are suppressed.

        Id = HSLco40333 SR: H555009718
             Wrong parameter is passed to "ioctl".

        Resolution:
             Parameter passed to "ioctl" is corrected.

        Id = NSMbb45940
            On kernel versions 2.4.14 - 2.4.18, function lseek()
            fails with errno=EINVAL when seeking past the end of
            a raw disk section. This is a non-POSIX behaviour and
            is not expected by Disk Agent PosixCapacity() function.
            PosixCapacity() often seeks past the end of raw disk
            section and attempts to read there. Only when the read
            fails, PosixCapacity() determines that the disk size
            is smaller than the current offset.

        Resolution:
            When lseek() fails with EINVAL, PosixCapacity()
            immediately assumes that offset is to big.

        PHSS_26343:
        Id = HSLco30587
            In case that JFS 3.3 filesystem contains LOFS, Disk
            Agent is not able to get ACL's for such files because
            they do not exist.

        Resolution:
            Disk Agent ignores error in case of LOFS.
