>ELF 32-bit MSB core file SPARC Version 1, from 'ufsrestore

So this isn't an Amanda problem, but a Solaris one.

Here are some thoughts:

  * Go to Sun and look for any patches to ufsdump/ufsrestore, i.e.
    make sure you're running the latest version.

  * Reload the image to disk by hand and run ufsrestore against it
    directly instead of in a pipeline:

      cd /some/place
      mt -f /dev/rmt/0cbn
      amrestore /dev/rmt/0cbn admin1.corp.walid.com sda10
      cd /where/ever
      ufsrestore if /some/place/admin1.corp.walid.com.sda10.20010519.0

  * If that doesn't work, see if any of your other systems are running
    a different version of ufsrestore (either older or newer) and either
    try the image there or copy the ufsrestore program over to your tape
    server (use some temporary name) and try it there.

  * If that doesn't work, try dd'ing the image to a **scratch** tape and
    handing that to ufsrestore:

      cd /some/place
      mt -f /dev/rmt/0cbn
      dd if=admin1.corp.walid.com.sda10.20010519.0 of=/dev/rmt/0cbn bs=32k
      mt -f /dev/rmt/0cbn
      cd /where/ever
      ufsrestore ibf 64 /dev/rmt/0cbn

  * If that still doesn't work, ask me offline of the list and I'll dig
    into my dirty little bag of tricks for some other slight of hand.
    One question first, what version of Solaris are you using?

BTW, at some point you'll want to change to using /dev/rmt/0cn instead
of /dev/rmt/0cbn.  The 'b' gives you "BSD semantics", which can sometimes
cause problems with Amanda.  Nothing related to what your seeing at the
moment, but there are other issues.
