Error Message

commd0.0.log:
2012-10-01 14:11:22 WARNING: #{18.EN_US} [Scanner$ScannerThread.scanJob] Scanner for
share 1827 failed with exit code: 5 (incremental:false)

[SCAN_FAILED@@null] Mon Oct 01 14:11:22 EDT 2012 Full
scan for share \\\R$\ failed (args:
[\\\R$\, share]) (took: 763ms) (Details: Exit code: 5;
Access is denied.) (Obj: SHARE:\\\R$\)

Cause

The Data Insight scanner explicitly ignores all symbolic links/reparse points by design.

Resolution

This behavior is by design to avoid double reporting of file information.

Mount point contents are missing after scanning a share that contains reparse points (veritas.com)
