I have installed amanda 2.4.2p2 on a Alpha machine with OSF V4.0.
Almost everything works. When I do amverify, it fails. During the
investigation I have pin point the problem.
Looking into the script file amverify, inside the function doonefile,
when it tries to parse the header of one backup. There is the
following command:
HEADER=`$DD bs=512 count=64 | ( sed 1q ; cat > /dev/null )`
The stranged thing is if I change to the following, it works better.
HEADER=`$DD bs=1 count=32767 | ( sed 1q ; cat > /dev/null )`
This change don't make sense to me, but works better.
During my investigation I have found that everythings is writen rigth
to the tape. If I dd from tape to a file or with amrestore I found no
problem. If I use amverify, during the parsing the header are
consumed too many bytes that belongs to the tar file, that follow it.
I am asking for help, to find the problem or solve it.
