Summary:                    File truncated on restore
Description: 
/part2/usr/lib/libGLU.so.1.3

RestoreFiles.2007-02-20_15.10.05 Error:
attribs.c:409 File size of restored file /part2/usr/lib/libGLU.so.1.3 not
correct. Original 573295, restored 1376259.
This is the only file out of 12000 which caused an error.

The original file size on the system is 573295. I've tried to restore that
file with file daemon 2.0.2 and 1.38.11 with the same error. 

Then I did a new backup of the file and with that new backup the restore
is ok. Although the backup client has not changed between these two backup
runs. 

So unfortunately I can tell you what to do to reproduce this. If I restore
from that certain backup it fails all the time but restore from the newer
backup runs fine all the time.

Can I extract something out of the image file which might be helpful?

If I understand this correctly, the error occurs every time that you
restore from one specific backup.  However, you are unable to reproduce
the error in any new backups.  Is that correct?

Assuming the above is the case:
To fix the problem, I really need something that is reproducible.  One
could *possibly* find the source of the problem by carefully examining the
backup data, but given that I have never seen this before, I am inclined to
think that you have or had some hardware error.

I suggest you search your system logs and see if there were any errors
reported at the time the backup was being made. You haven't mentioned what
version of the OS you are using or whether it is a tape/disk backup.  There
was a kernel SCSI driver bug in SuSE 10.1 that could very easily have
caused this.
