Data corruption in VxFS filesystem
Issue
This application (Abinitio) writes data to files in a VxFS file system. It was noticed that sometimes these files had a gap or hole in the data amounting to 128KB (KiloBytes). As a result of this, the application was unable to decompress the file (using Ab Initio proprietary compression/decompression format). Due to this intermittent problem, report generation was often delayed as the application reports had to be re-run. This issue occurs silently; as such no explicit errors are associated with the issue.
