Greetings, I am somewhat new to AIX and TSM and I have a question about TSM and AIX Links.
I have a file that is a link that points to the directory that it resides in. It looks like this: root:/udb/prod/sqllib> ls -l lrwxrwxrwx 1 udbprod udbsadm 1 Oct 11 11:01 .ftok -> . When I run an AIX find command, it finds one .ftok file. However, when I run a TSM archive, it appears to be backing up the directory in question, following the link to the same directory and backing it up again. The archive did this many times, but at some point, it exited this loop and finished with no errors. Questions: 1) Is TSM functioning as designed or should it be smart enough to figure out that it is following a circular link? 2) If this is normal TSM logic, why did it finally get out of this loop?
