Is anyone having issues with a false positive in zxMig tool when trying to set up a destination path in the Export Wizard?
[zimbra@zimbra ~]$ zmcontrol version
Release 7.2.7_GA_2942.RHEL5_20140314190150 RHEL5 NETWORK edition.
zxmig is 1.8.18
Error is "The path is on a case-insensitive filesystem."
First I mounted a USB drive which is a windows storage server 2008 R2 backup appliance.. I have been using this for normal ZCS Network edition backup for years with no problem.. So when I went into the Zextras zxMig tool in the Zimbra Admin GUI and put in /media/00coolnas/ferry I got "The path is on a case-insensitive filesystem". This was a surprise to me, I didn't know his was a requirement until then. So I figured that since this share is mounted as a windows cifs that it may be case-insensitive. So I changed plans.
Second, I went ahead and created a nfs share on Server2 (RHEL 6 64bit) that I will be mounting on Server1 (server1 has zxMig). /media/nfs-ferry. Then went back to server1 zxMig and put in the new path and got same "The path is on a case-insensitive filesystem.". This cannot be true.. so I found instructions to test the file system.. here is the result:
On Server1 (same server zxMig is on):
[root@zimbra nfs-ferry]# mkdir Aa
[root@zimbra nfs-ferry]# mkdir AA
[root@zimbra nfs-ferry]# touch Aa/1
[root@zimbra nfs-ferry]# touch AA/2
[root@zimbra nfs-ferry]# ls
Aa AA
[root@zimbra nfs-ferry]# ls Aa
1
[root@zimbra nfs-ferry]# ls AA
2
[root@zimbra nfs-ferry]# pwd
/media/nfs-ferry
So it appears that zxMig is incorrect saying that my filesystem is case-insensitive... But I cannot proceed with the migration until this is resolved. It almost seems as it is stuck remembering /media/00coolnas Windows backup appliance and not seeing the new case-sensitive filesystem..
What can I do now?
Thank you.
