I've moved this discussion out of the "Events" folder up to the man level of the Community to increase its visibility.

Which partitioning scheme and which filesystem are we talking? MBR and LVM should work, not sure about GPT. Supported filesystems include ext2,3,4, JFS, XFS and Reiser3 IIRC.
You definitely cannot do single file restore on filesystems that were created directly on a block device (like "mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb"). The VMware API does not support this.
If you have a supported paritioning scheme and filesystem and upgraded from 6.0, there might be another gotcha. First you have to make sure you re-deployed all proxy VMs. If you used Windows FLR with 6.0 with axionfs on the utility node and a Windows proxy VM, you have to make sure this mechanism was completely uninstalled during the upgrade. If parts of this old mechanism are still there, the same error message might appear (and be completely misleading). In that case, I would open a SR.

ext3 is supported filesystem, I restored from there several times. PV means LVM and though I never tried it, it should be supported.
There is a 'not' missing somewhere
. I've tested with a new installation and it just worked out of the box.
It is probably best you open a SR at that point. Sorry I cannot help further.

Hi
I have newly installed Avamar Gen4 Multinode Servers. When I trying to do FLR of a windows file it gives me following error " failed to determine the partition type. Verify that all the disks on the VM have valid/supported partitions". I tried another some of the VM to do FLR, it works but right now I have seen this issue for one of the VM. I also created the SR for the same, but EMC Live chat provide me the Avamar VMWare Administrator Guide. I have gone through step by step, but it won't works. Please help me.
