APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
If the input file has hardlinks, the dmpuncompress with -p option will unlink the output because copystat is called before checking if we should preserve the files and copystat fails because there is a link.
Local fix
unlink the input file before running the dmpuncompress.
Problem summary
dmpuncompress successfully uncompressed the vmcore, But unlinked it because the input file has hardlink.
Problem conclusion
don't try copystat if the preserve option is set.
