Subject: Re: ndmpcopy question
I encountered this same message when doing an incremental while
migrating to a new filer.  The NetApp support person with whom I
spoke contacted one of the developers about it.  The developer said
that the error means that a directory being restored (to the
target of the ndmpcopy) referred to an inode which wasn't in the
dumpmap.
The process assumes that the directory is correct and that the
dumpmap is wrong, so it goes with the directory data instead of the
dumpmap.  I'm not clear on how that works if the affected file is not
in the dump (how is it restored to the target machine?), but I'm
undoubtedly missing part of the picture. :-)
He mentioned that the message might be changed to only appear in
debug output, since it should not signal anything that would cause
data loss.  I had started over with a new level 0 and was on a new
incremental by the time I found out that info, so I can't comment
as to whether the affected files were actually copied by the
incremental that generated the message.
