Error description
In a ClearCase VOB with ACLs enabled, certain other circumstances (as yet unclear) may result in the replay of a mkelem operation getting annotated "Warning: Defaulting protection to rolemap of parent directory in importing replica "replica-name". This annotation gets added to the comments of the oplog entry, and also to the element itself. The event type / operation of the event is "create" / "mkelem" So that an "lshistory" of the element shows %cleartool lshist -eventid oid:20203257.337a11e3.9cd8.6c:3b:e5:b4:5d:f8 ... event 536882352: 2013-10-12 user create version "20203257.337a11e3.9cd8.6c:3b:e5:b4:5d:f8@@/main/0" event 536882351: 2013-10-12 user create branch "20203257.337a11e3.9cd8.6c:3b:e5:b4:5d:f8@@/main" event 536882350: 2013-10-12 user create file element "20203257.337a11e3.9cd8.6c:3b:e5:b4:5d:f8@@" "Warning: Defaulting protection to rolemap of parent directory in importing replica "replica-name". Initial version" event 536882349: 2013-10-12 user create file element "20203257.337a11e3.9cd8.6c:3b:e5:b4:5d:f8@@" "Initial version" This double "create file element" is benign for ClearCase run time operations, but causes problems during reformatvob and mkreplica
Local fix
