I believe it has to do with .zfs as a hidden directory and I am not sure how to get around this. (since you mentioned Zmanda specifically..) We don't have a ZFS setup at the moment, and in fact our Sparc systems are fairly limited since they can't be fully virtualized. I'm borrowing time on some Solaris systems from a friend today, so if I get a chance and can set up ZFS, I'll give it a whirl. That said, I suspect that if the bug were as large as gtar on a ZFS snapshot segfaults, it would be fixed already, so the circumstances are likely more narrow. Have you checked the Solaris bug tracker? Do your system logs give any indication of what's going on? Dustin -- Open Source Storage Engineer http://www.zmanda.com

The last line of the 'runtar' logfile shows that it invokes dbclose, and the very next statement is an execve, which is failing. I'm not sure exactly why this would be happening, unless GNUTAR is undefined in your build? Anyway, the segfault is either coming from the execve, or from the debugging code that follows it. However, I just forced an error from execve, and the debugging code worked fine. And I don't immediately see anything wrong with it. Try invoking runtar the same way that you see in the sendbackup logfile (with suitable redirection of stdout), and see if it does the same thing. If so, try running it under 'truss' to see what is wrong with the execve call. Dustin -- Open Source Storage Engineer http://www.zmanda.com

If I manually run the following gtar command I get a segmentation fault /usr/sfw/bin/gtar --create --file /dev/null --numeric-owner --directory /zvol/backup/gauss/.zfs/snapshot/BKUPTODAY/export/jumpstart --one-file- system --listed-incremental /var/amanda/gnutar- lists/hertz_export_jumpstart_0.new --sparse --ignore-failed-read -- totals . If I run the command with /zvol/backup/gauss/export/jumpstart then it works as advertised. When I ran truss on the first gtar with the .zfs in the path I get chdir(/zvol/backup/gauss/.zfs/snapshot/BKUPTODAY/export/jumpstart) = 0 fstat64(4, 0x080478F0) = 0 brk(0x080B5F00) = 0 brk(0x080C5F00) = 0 fstat64(4, 0x08047830) = 0 ioctl(4, TCGETA, 0x080478C4)Err#25 ENOTTY read(4, G N U t a r - 1 . 2 3.., 69632)= 69159 brk(0x080C5F00) = 0 brk(0x080C7F00) = 0 lstat64(., 0x08047780)= 0 lstat64(/, 0x08047780)= 0 openat64(-3041965, .., O_RDONLY) = 6 fstat64(6, 0x08047780) = 0 fcntl(6, F_SETFD, 0x0001) = 0 fstat64(6, 0x080476D0) = 0 getdents64(6, 0xFEED4000, 8192) = 192 fstatat64(6, jumpstart, 0x08047780, 0x1000) = 0 openat64(6, .., O_RDONLY) = 7 fstat64(7, 0x08047780) = 0 close(6)= 0 fcntl(7, F_SETFD, 0x0001) = 0 fstat64(7, 0x080476D0) = 0 getdents64(7, 0xFEED4000, 8192) = 136 fstatat64(7, export, 0x08047780, 0x1000) = 0 openat64(7, .., O_RDONLY) = 6 fstat64(6, 0x08047780) = 0 close(7)= 0 fcntl(6, F_SETFD, 0x0001) = 0 fstat64(6, 0x080476D0) = 0 getdents64(6, 0xFEED4000, 8192) = 720 fstatat64(6, DAILY-201005020315, 0x08047780, 0x1000) = 0 fstatat64(6, DAILY-201004280315, 0x08047780, 0x1000) = 0 fstatat64(6, DAILY-201004211815, 0x08047780, 0x1000) = 0 fstatat64(6, DAILY-201004300315, 0x08047780, 0x1000) = 0 fstatat64(6, DAILY-201004290315, 0x08047780, 0x1000) = 0 fstatat64(6, DAILY-201004270315, 0x08047780, 0x1000) = 0 fstatat64(6, DAILY-201005030315, 0x08047780, 0x1000) = 0 fstatat64(6, DAILY-201004201815, 0x08047780, 0x1000) = 0 fstatat64(6, DAILY-201004181815, 0x08047780, 0x1000) = 0 fstatat64(6, DAILY-201004251830, 0x08047780, 0x1000) = 0 fstatat64(6, BKUPTODAY, 0x08047780, 0x1000) = 0 openat64(6, .., O_RDONLY) = 7 fstat64(7, 0x08047780) = 0 close(6)= 0 fcntl(7, F_SETFD, 0x0001) = 0 fstat64(7, 0x080476D0) = 0 getdents64(7, 0xFEED4000, 8192) = 80 fstatat64(7, snapshot, 0x08047780, 0x1000) = 0 openat64(7, .., O_RDONLY) = 6 fstat64(6, 0x08047780) = 0 close(7)= 0 ***where is .zfs*** ? fcntl(6, F_SETFD, 0x0001) = 0 fstat64(6, 0x080476D0) = 0 getdents64(6, 0xFEED4000, 8192) = 136 getdents64(6, 0xFEED4000, 8192) = 0 llseek(6, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 0x1A0F2126 llseek(6, 0, SEEK_SET) = 0 getdents64(6, 0xFEED4000, 8192) = 136 fstatat64(6, rpoolbackup, 0x08047780, 0x1000) = 0 fstatat64(6, root, 0x08047780, 0x1000)= 0 fstatat64(6, export, 0x08047780, 0x1000) = 0 getdents64(6, 0xFEED4000, 8192) = 0 close(6)= 0 Incurred fault #6, FLTBOUNDS %pc = 0x0807DDA5 siginfo: SIGSEGV SEGV_MAPERR addr=0x Received signal #11, SIGSEGV [default] siginfo: SIGSEGV SEGV_MAPERR addr=0x -Original Message- From: djmit...@gmail.com [mailto:djmit...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Dustin J.

The last line of the 'runtar' logfile shows that it invokes dbclose, and the very next statement is an execve, which is failing. I'm not sure exactly why this would be happening, unless GNUTAR is undefined in your build? Anyway, the segfault is either coming from the execve, or from the debugging code
