Interesting then what will "gtar" shout... One other suggestion would be to do "touch /location/filename.bak".

No, the target location is not empty it does have other files in it.

When I copy I am copying the files to another name.

I am using cp -r filename /location/filename.bak

Is the target location empty ? Does it have maybe files with the same names ? How do you copy ?

We have a problem with our snapshots and Oracle and was wondering if anyone has seen/solved this.

We shutdown our database and then run a manual snapshot of the our volume running Oracle (kind of a bummer to start you can't snap qtree's). Then we restart our database.

The problems occurs when trying to copy the Oracle files out of the snapshot directory to another location on the filer. We need to do this to test recovery procedures. Things appear to be working OK for a few files and then all of a sudden we get "permission denied" copying the files.

Ideas ?
