NSS AD
Situation
Backup Exec agent on OES crashes while performing a backup from a particular NSS volume.
kernel: [976229.471409] beremote[3526]: segfault at 7f438b679e00 ip 00007f3226be2557 sp 00007f322c8d4c70 error 6 in libgfsp.so[7f3226bd5000+12000]
The volume on which the backup is performed is 'NSS_AD' enabled and does have the NSS 'Copy-on-Write' feature enabled.
Please note : this was a NSS pool created a long time ago. Enabling NSS 'Copy-on-Write' on newly created pools is unsupported and no longer possible.
Resolution
Remove the NSS "Copy-on-Write" feature, since is not (no longer) supported on OES !
NOTE: The segfault was observed only when backing up a NSS "Copy-on-Write" enabled volumes *and* the volume is NSS_AD enabled.
Other volumes without the NSS "Copy-on-Write" feature could be backed up without problems.
