Re: SAVOBJ checkpoint failure

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Usually that is an individual file or member that is open and locked.   I
would check to see if there are any communications open from RDi, VSCode or
other that appear to be moving data.  We just had a similar circumstance at
a customer this weekend although that was with an NFS transfer that had
stalled.
