Error description

• Customer is receiving intermittent CMOD system log error 125
  messages, Unable to create symbolic links, with errno 183,
  cannot create a file when that file already exists.
  
  The APPEND links are used to concatenate small load objects
  together to make larger ones and lessen the overall number of
  separate objects in the system. Their data is being stored. The
  APPEND is just a link telling CMOD which object is being
  appended to. What the error may mean is switching to a new
  object to append to isn't working during loads. The APPEND
  links are also processed by the arsmaint command. Since the
  APPEND links are being switched to new objects at some point,
  the customer may just have larger objects than intended or
  smaller ones. The system is working, just not as designed.
