Strange error when copying directory

[d3funct]

I've just created a new LV and filesystem because the old filesystem size limit was reached. I'm now copying the old filesystem to the new one and am seeing an error similar to the one below on several files. I've compared the old file to the new copy and can find no errors, difference in permissions or filesizes and ownerships are correct, so what does this error mean, can it be ignored?

cp: ./exp/d012/d012_rbw_020912.dmp.Z: The user ID or group ID is to large to fit in the provided structure. Meekness: Uncommon patience in planning a revenge that is worth while.

Hi,

Possibly one of the FS has the "Large file system" enabled,the other one do not.

Check using:

lsfs -q /dataVolumes/timna1.2.0

Name Nodename Mount Pt VFS Size Options Auto Accounting
/dev/slv2.0 -- /dataVolumes/timna1.2.0 jfs 16646144 rw yes no
(lv size: 16646144, fs size: 16646144, frag size: 4096, nbpi: 4096, compress: no, bf: true, ag: 64)

"bf: true" means the Large FS is enable."false" means NO. "Long live king Moshiach !"

P.S.

Unfortunately if this is the case - you have to rectreate the FS with the changed flag. "Long live king Moshiach !"

hi,
the message speaks about
"...The user ID or group ID is to large to fit in the provided structure"

It speaks user-ID and not file size.
Probably in the old filesystem there was set
ACL for rome file and for some user that does not exist more.

However, I belive that the copy is done: check
user:group of all files copied to see if there are problems.

To copy dirs from one point to another, holding props. of
file, use cp -p ... or better

cd rootpathdir
cd ..
find rootpathdir |cpio -pdm <destpath>

bye.
