Error description
When upgrading IBM Rational ClearCase from any 7.1.2.x version to 7.1.2.5, the 'exports.mvfs' file is overwritten with a default one and does not keep the one that was modified previously. Step to reproduce: Upgrade ClearCase on Red Hat 4 or 5 normally. WORKAROUND: Before the upgrade process, save the modified 'exports.mvfs' file, then run the upgrade and replace the default 'exports.mvfs' after the upgrade completes with the backup of the modified copy.
Local fix
Problem summary
ClearCase upgrades overwrote the exports.mvfs file during the upgrade process, removing customizations.
Problem conclusion
A fix is available in ClearCase versions 7.1.2.7 Please see technote: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21596035
