JunOS : LIBJNX_FILE_SYSTEM_FAIL: /var/transfer/config/: No such file or directory

Encountered such issue in your log file of your Juniper network device?

LIBJNX_FILE_SYSTEM_FAIL: /var/transfer/config/: No such file or directory

This is most likely related to your configuration archival (backup), with such statement :

set system archival configuration [transfer-on-commit | transfer-interval]
set system archival configuration archive-sites "scp://user@IP_Address/path/to/folder" password "USER_Password"

1 2	set system archival configuration [transfer-on-commit \| transfer-interval] set system archival configuration archive-sites "scp://user@IP_Address/path/to/folder" password "USER_Password"

This is most likely caused by filesystem corruption and/or inexisting transfer folder on the filesystem. To resolve this issue, enter into shell mode and create the folder(s) :

In CLI mode ( > ), enter the following command :

start shell

1	start shell

Then create the folder(s) :

mkdir -p /var/transfer/config/

1	mkdir -p /var/transfer/config/

The next time the config archival will be attempted, it should work as expected.
