Hi Folks,
  Another question for ya.  After I did an amdump to test out dumping our
disks to tape, I tried to do an amrecover to see if restoring the data
would work.  It seems to work for our linux machines, but the solaris box
has some trouble.  When I start up amrecover, it reports:
...
200 Config set to imash.
501 No index records for host: hostname.  Invalid?
Trying hostname.domainname...
200 Dump host set to hostname.domainname
...


Then I do a setdisk /etc and it reports:

200 Disk set to /etc.
No index records for disk for specified date
If date correct, notify system administrator

So I figured that the index must not have been created for some reason,
but I checked that out on the server and it looks fine.  Has the right
permissions and ownership.  The wierd thing is, if I look into the index
files for the host that's giving me trouble, they look a little different
than the others. It looks like this:

06573011000/./security/dev/audio
06573011000/./security/dev/fd0
06573011000/./security/dev/sr0
06573011000/./security/dev/st0
06573011000/./security/dev/st1
...

Whereas for the linux hosts, the index looks like this:

/
/CORBA/
/CORBA/servers/
/X11/
...

(these are just the contents of /etc on each host).  The version of tar on
the solaris machine is 1.13.  I've heard tar can cause some problems.  Do
you think that might be it?

Thanks for your help!

Rafe
