DAOS Resync Issue

Hello,

We noticed a very strange behavior with DAOS when issuing the Resync command. DAOS is searching all of the NSF files on the hard drive instead of just the Domino data folder. This is reproducible on Domino 8.5.2 (64-bit) under Windows Server 2008.

Domino is installed under C:\Domino

Data directory is: C:\Domino\Data

DAOS directory is: c:\Domino\DAOS

When I run DAOS resync from the Domino console, it is finding files in the “c:\Domino Backup” folder.

11/18/2010 09:54:39 AM The database C:\DOMINO Backup\Domino\data\mail\custserv.nsf has a reference to c:\domino\DAOS\0003\B02982199942B29A5FD4DAC8D3E66EA3035B281C00014BAA.nlo, which does not exist. An entry has been added to the DAOS catalog indicating the NLO is missing: Entry not found in index

DAOS should not be looking for NSF files outside the Domino data directory.

Is there a chance that you have a dB or subdirectory link from your servers data directory to your ‘backup’ directory?

Hi Bruce,

The databases are not linked. I even renamed the backup folder and the server found the new folder name!

Subject: Utility

It’s a known issue. This file was probably accessed (using a full path) by a utility, and it was (incorrectly) added to the list of active DAOS files in the DAOS catalog. The resync process recycles the old list when it is looking for all files participating in DAOS tp create the new list.

The workaround is to move or rename the file, and then run resync (resync force if the catalog is synchronized) so that it will not find the file, and it will not be included in the new list of participating NSF files.
