Symptoms:
	PHSS_28335:
	Id = HSLco34580  SR: H555007992
	    Filesystem backup fails with an error:

	    "|Major| From: BSM@<computer> "<object>"  Time: <time>
	     |61:3003| Lost connection to VBDA named <object>
	        on host <host>.
	        Ipc subsystem reports: "IPC Read Error
	        System error: |232| Connection reset by peer"

	Id = HSLco37244  SR: H555008823
	    ACL checking error reported for infinite symbolic links
	    and symbolic links to NFS mountpoints.

	Id = HSLco38200  SR: H555009032
	    Option "omit deleted files" replaces existing files on
	    the disk with files from the backup.

	Id = HSLco38494  SR: H555009141
	    Backup of JFS 3.3 File System reports error:

	      "Cannot read ACLs: (|13| Permission denied)."

	Id = HSLco39001  SR: H555009249
	    Raw disk restore fails on Tru 64 systems.

	Id = HSLco39524  SR: H555009425
	    Files are corrupted after restore.

	Id = HSLco39544  SR: H555009435
	    Restore session on HP-UX with VXFS 3 reports error:

	      "Cannot restore ACLs"

	    for every file restored.

	Id = HSLco40333 SR: H555009718
	     During the JFS 3.3 backup the following error is
	     reported:

	     "Cannot get VxFS filesystem options (|25| Not a
	      typewriter) => VxFS extent attributes not backed up."

	Id = NSMbb45940  SR: B555014163
	    On Linux Operating Systems with kernel versions
	    2.4.14 - 2.4.18 raw disk backup reports:

	     "cannot compute disk capacity (|22| invalid argument)".

	PHSS_26343:
	Id = HSLco30587  SR: H555006667
	    Backup of a JFS 3.3 filesystem reports error:

	      "Cannot read ACLs: ([21] Is a directory)".

Defect Description:
	PHSS_28335:
	Id = HSLco34580
	    Last message from Disk Agent is sometimes lost. This
	    causes Disk Agent's status reported as "Failed".

	Resolution:
	    New OmniBack II environment variable:
	      OB2VBDASLEEPBEFORECLOSE
	    is introduced.
	    Its default value is 0. Setting it to a positive
	    number, in /<OMNIBACK_HOME>/.omnirc file specifies
	    number of seconds to pass before Disk Agent completes
	    after sending the last block of data.
	    Sleep time insignificantly influences backup
	    performance.

	Id = HSLco37244
	    These specific errors should be skipped, but they are
	    not.

	Resolution:
	    Checking for infinite symbolic link and links to NFS
	    added.

	Id = HSLco38200
	    When option "omit deleted files" is enabled for restore
	    it ignores options "no overwrite" and "keep most
	    recent" although it should not.

	Resolution:
	    "omit deleted files" option is properly interpreted
	    when used together with "no overwrite" and/or "keep
	    most recent" options.

	Id = HSLco38494
	    In case that JFS 3.3 File System has a softlink which
	    points to different File System, read of ACL's can fail.

	Resolution:
	    Disk Agent ignores such error in case of softlinks.

	Id = HSLco39001
	    Raw disk restore does not work correctly on Tru 64
	    systems if disks are grouped into logical units.

	Resolution:
	    New OmniBack II environment variable OB2NODIOCWLABEL is
	    introduced. This should be added to the file
	    /<OMNIBACK_HOME>/.omnirc. In case that this variable
	    is set to "1", OmniBack II does not perform disk
	    related ioctl() commands.

	    NOTE: In case that OmniBack II variable is set,
	    and restore is started on the normal raw disk, restore
	    reports that disk is "Read-only file system" and aborts.


	Id = HSLco39524
	    In case that OB2ALIGN variable is set backup is
	    corrupt and restore is not possible.

	Resolution:
	    Backup disk agent is fixed in order to work correctly
	    with OB2ALIGN option.

	Id = HSLco39544
	    If files are backed up on JFS filesystem and restored
	    to VXFS filesystem, minor error is reported for every
	    file restored.

	Resolution:
	    Message "Destination file system does not support ACLs!"
	    is added and is reported only once, subsequent error
	    messages are suppressed.

	Id = HSLco40333 SR: H555009718
	     Wrong parameter is passed to "ioctl".

	Resolution:
	     Parameter passed to "ioctl" is corrected.

	Id = NSMbb45940
	    On kernel versions 2.4.14 - 2.4.18, function lseek()
	    fails with errno=EINVAL when seeking past the end of
	    a raw disk section. This is a non-POSIX behaviour and
	    is not expected by Disk Agent PosixCapacity() function.
	    PosixCapacity() often seeks past the end of raw disk
	    section and attempts to read there. Only when the read
	    fails, PosixCapacity() determines that the disk size
	    is smaller than the current offset.

	Resolution:
	    When lseek() fails with EINVAL, PosixCapacity()
	    immediately assumes that offset is to big.

	PHSS_26343:
	Id = HSLco30587
	    In case that JFS 3.3 filesystem contains LOFS, Disk
	    Agent is not able to get ACL's for such files because
	    they do not exist.

	Resolution:
	    Disk Agent ignores error in case of LOFS.
