RE: [flexbackup-help] blksize parameters (fwd)
Hi Erwan, I know you've probably tried most of this. Checking back on your mail of 5 May, I see: /dev/nst0: Input/output error There is nothing flexbackup can do until that is sorted. What blocksize does mt status report on a clean boot? Can you run a simple tar to the drive? mt -f /dev/st0 status mt -f /dev/st0 rewind tar cf /dev/nst0 /etc mt -f /dev/st0 rewind tar tf /dev/nst0 Try manually setting the blocksize to the same as what you're using in the script. mt -f /dev/st0 setblk 1024 and use $mt_blksize = 1024; Niall --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.

RE: [flexbackup-help] help

Thans a lot for all. -Message d'origine- De : Niall Brosnan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Envoyé : mardi 7 juin 2005 15:58 À : CHEVALIER, Erwan -Syntegra FR Objet : Re: [flexbackup-help] help Hi Erwan, have you tried : $erase_rewind_only = 'true'; Your mail got me started on adding a few more machines to a flexbackup run (I use amanda for scheduled backups, but flexbackup is very handy for snapshots), and one of my drives - a HP DDS2 - needs that or takes forever to come online.

RE Niall After erasing, i'll give you all infos about each questions you asked to me. What output do you get from: " mt status "?

Yes OK - take compression and the tape out of your next test. Make a directory /tmp/FlexTest, set these options and run flexbackup again. $compress = 'false'; $device = '/tmp/FlexTest/'; Now " flexbackup -test-tape-drive " will say, 'No use trying tape drive tests on directories!', but it will tell you if the rest of your syntax is correct.

Do you usually receive list mail? Hope it helps, Niall -- Forwarded message -- Date: Thu, 2 Jun 2005 11:29:06 +0100 (IST) From: Niall Brosnan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flexbackup-help@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [flexbackup-help] blksizep arameters Dear Erwan, From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear Flexbackup users, I've tried all blksize between 0 and 512 which my max, and none of this values is correct, so anyone can explain to me, where i'm wrong. Here is my Flexbackup.conf I assume you are using linux, and you should first change this setting: $device = '/dev/st0'; to $device = '/dev/nst0'; This is very important! Dell Powervault 100T DAT 72 with magnetic tape of 36-72 GB. If your tape drive has compression turned on, you should not use software compression. I would recommend using software compression where possible as you will get better predictions on size, and you will get better portability of your backups. It's far easier to recompile bzip2 for a new platform than it is to reverse engineer a compression algorithm on a chip when your Dell tape drive dies. What errors are you seeing in /var/log/flexbackup ? Why do you feel that the blksize is your problem?
RE: [flexbackup-help] blksize parameters (fwd)
Hi list and niall Can you run a simple tar to the drive? mt -f /dev/st0 status - I've already answered mt -f /dev/st0 rewind Nothing too [EMAIL PROTECTED] flextest]# tar cf /dev/nst0 /etc tar: Retrait de l'en-tête `/' des noms des membres mt -f /dev/st0 rewind Take time but ok tar tf /dev/nst0 Ok it show me all the tar that I've done. Try manually setting the blocksize to the same as what you're using in the script. mt -f /dev/st0 setblk 1024 and use $mt_blksize = 1024; I've done it and do a Flexbackup-test-tape-drive but it's not better.
