[OpenAFS-devel] AFS 1.2.13 backup system reports strange dump sizes

[Ulrich Seidl]

When doing a backup with the AFS 1.2.13 backup system, some volume sizes
are obviously displayed erroneous. However, a restore of such a volume
succeeds.

Case 1: A volume with approximately 2.3GB was dumped. After a "backup
dumpinfo -id 1123250981", I get the following:

> 38 08/05/2005 16:08 2390479209  home.xyz.backup

which seems to be correct. However, when I do a "backup dumpinfo -id
1123250981 -verbose", I get a negative nBytes report.

> Volume
> ------
> name = home.xyz.backup
> flags = 0x18: First fragment: Last fragment
> id = 536870923
> server =
> partition = 0
> tapeSeq = 1
> position = 38
> clone = Fri Aug  5 16:08:41 2005
> startByte = 0
> nBytes = -1904488087
> seq = 0
> dump = 1123250981
> tape = everything.weekly.1


Case 2: When dumping a volume with approximately 8.7GB, and doing a
"backup dumpinfo -id 1123250981"

> 49 08/05/2005 16:08  175847664 local.sl3.readonly


is reported. The size reported here is 175MB which is ways too little.
For the "-verbose" version, I get the same wrong report for nBytes.

> Volume

> seq = 0

> tape = everything.weekly.1

Any Ideas / Fixes available?
