    And although the fix for the problem IV02037 is installed in the system, mksysb backup still sometimes fails with error:

    
    # mksysb -i -e -X /mksysb/20120612.mksysb   Creating information file (/image.data) 
    
    for rootvg.   Creating list of files to back up.   Backing up 98926 files...backup: 0511-084 An internal packing error occurred: incorrect size backup: 0511-442 ./var/adm/syslog will not be backed up.     0512-005 mksysb: Backup Completed. The backup command completed with errors. The messages displayed on Standard Error contained additional information.   # ls -al /mksysb/20120612.mksysb ls: 0653-341 The file /mksysb/20120612.mksysb does not exist. # oslevel -s 6100-06-06-1140
    


    When I do run the same command just egain after the failed one, command completed fine without any error.

    
    # mksysb -i -e -X /mksysb/20120612.mksysb   Creating information file (/image.data) 
    
    for rootvg.   Creating list of files to back up.   Backing up 98926 files....................   98926 of 98926 files (100%) 0512-038 mksysb: Backup Completed Successfully. #
    

    Any idea what is wrong with IV02037 fix?

    by the way - I have no clue why mksysb complained about /var/adm/syslog size (incorrect size)
    
    # ls -al /var/adm/syslog* -rw-r--r--    1 root     system      3260995 Jun 13 10:45 /var/adm/syslog
    


    I guess it must be still AIX code defect.
