When have a DFSR
"hub and spoke" setup for a replicated folder.
The permissions were set on the folder so no end users could modify the contents.
To my surprise, when running a health report on the hub, I found a few spokes had a single outbound file backlogged.
When I check the backlog with dfsrdiag.exe for the spokes I see one apparently nameless file:
F:\>dfsrdiag.exe backlog /ReceivingMember:dfsrhub /SendingMember:spoke123 /RGName:myRG /RFName:myRF Member <dfsrhub> Backlog File Count: 1 Backlog File Names (first 1 files) 1. Operation Succeeded
When checking
dfsrdiag.exe ReplicationState
I see no activity regarding the DFSR members in question.When I use the
GetOutboundBacklogFileIdRecords()
method of theDfsrReplicatedFolderInfo
class against the DFSR members in question I get a little more info about the file they are trying to replicate back to the hub.
When executing GetOutboundBacklogFileIdRecords()
this is what i get back:
IdRecordIndex : 1
BacklogIdRecords : {VersionVectorTombstone}
So it looks like it is trying to replicate the VersionVectorTombstone
back to the hub. Could someone shed some light on what this "file" is that it is trying to replication back?
The FullPathName
property of the BacklogIdRecords
for the file is blank, but I would expect that because I'm assuming this is a special DFSR system file that might be located in the system volume information folder.
