SYSTEM error, Arg list too long

Cause

When trying to back up a client with networker, the following error occurs:

* heaven.com:/export/heaven2 save: SYSTEM error, Arg list too long 
* heaven.com:/export/heaven2 save: Cannot open save session with heaven.com 
* heaven.com:/export/heaven3 1 retry attempted 
* heaven.com:/export/heaven3 save: SYSTEM error, Arg list too long 
* heaven.com:/export/heaven3 save: Cannot open save session with heaven.com

Action

An error like this is due to an index file (/nsr/index/clientname) that is greater than 2 Gbytes in Solstice backup revisions less than 5.0.1. In 5.0.1 the indexes are segmented so this error should no longer be a problem. In any revision of Solstice backup this error can also be due to a corrupt client index. If so, running the following command might resolve the problem:

# nsrck -F clientname
