Howdy,

Hmm, it sounds like you may have some lock files... what is the output of this command:

find /etc -name "*.lock"

Thank you, sir.

I have refomated new server with ext3.

I saw same error message.

find /etc -name "*.lock"

/etc/passwd.lock

/etc/shadow.lock

/etc/.pwd.lock

/etc/group.lock

/etc/gshadow.lock

In case site size is small, restore process finish succesfully.

In case site size is larger, restore process failed.

In command mode, restore process failed.
