Had customer run salvage on the domain, it was nearly 100 percent
successful.
they received no errors or partial files. but some of the linked files were
in-accessible
and with the following commands, snippets of the results are here.


command:

ls -lb shows the linked files with the last character or two in octal form
lrwxrwxrwx 1 mlavine staff 14 Dec 31 14:14 arb.h ->
../abm/arb.h\377\003
lrwxrwxrwx 1 mlavine staff 14 Dec 31 14:14 biu.h ->
../abm/biu.h\377\003
lrwxrwxrwx 1 mlavine staff 14 Dec 31 14:14 fifo.h ->
../abm/fifo.h\003
lrwxrwxrwx 1 mlavine staff 14 Dec 31 14:14 help.h ->
../abm/help.h\003



command:
ls -l show the last characters with a '?'
lrwxrwxrwx 1 mlavine staff 14 Dec 31 14:14 arb.h ->
../abm/arb.h\?\?
lrwxrwxrwx 1 mlavine staff 14 Dec 31 14:14 biu.h ->
../abm/biu.h\\?
lrwxrwxrwx 1 mlavine staff 14 Dec 31 14:14 fifo.h ->
../abm/fifo.h\?
lrwxrwxrwx 1 mlavine staff 14 Dec 31 14:14 help.h ->
../abm/help.h\?



command when files are restored from tape:
ls show this.
lrwxrwxrwx 1 mlavine staff 14 Dec 31 14:14 arb.h -> ../abm/arb.h

lrwxrwxrwx 1 mlavine staff 14 Dec 31 14:14 biu.h -> ../abm/biu.h
lrwxrwxrwx 1 mlavine staff 14 Dec 31 14:14 fifo.h ->
../abm/fifo.h
lrwxrwxrwx 1 mlavine staff 14 Dec 31 14:14 help.h ->
../abm/help.h


Any ideas how or why this happens?
