Hello list,

can somebody please help me with the following problem:

I'm using amanda 2.4.2p2 on Solaris 8 and I don't have a tape device,
therfore I need to restore from the holdingdisk. The backup runs fine, I'm
doing a full backup (always-full) on each run. But with the restore I'm
having problems.

I'm trying to restore from the holding disk, after I mounted the directory
from the backup server. I use the following command:

dd if=/a/20010515/volvo._dev_dsk-c0t0d0s7.0 bs=32k skip=1 | ufsrestore -ifv
-

After entering the command, the ufsrestore runs fine for a while. Then I get
the following message:

42267+0 records in
42267+0 records out
changing volumes on pipe input
abort? [yn]

The only thing I can do at this point is to abort the restore. When I abort
it the system core is dumped. It looks to me as it only occurs while
restoring partitions arround or greater 1 Gbyte.
When I dump the image into a file f. e.:

dd if=volvo._dev_dsk-c0t0d0s7.0 bs=32k skip=1 of=volvopart7

and run ufsrestore:

ufsrestore -ifv ./volvopart7

ufsrestore expects a second volume. But there is no second volume...:-((( 


Any help or ideas would be appreciated


Wolfgang
