Whoops .....I forgot..but I think I have found the problem (not the
solution). I've summized (sp???) that the amidxtaped is spawning an
amrestore and the host portion does a pattern search as opposed to a
literal search it fails (follow my thinking):
The machine I'm restoring is chg and the filesystem is /var..and when
I'm doing the amrecover it ouputs this:
amrecover> add dpotter
Added /mail/dpotter
amrecover> extract
Extracting files using tape drive /dev/rmt/0cn on host chgsfs.
The following tapes are needed: Daily_10
Restoring files into directory /var/adm/amanda/sbin
Continue? [Y/n]: Y
Load tape Daily_10 now
Continue? [Y/n]: Y
./mail/dpotter is not on volume
set owner/mode for '.'? [yn]
So at least I know that it is opening the correct index file. Now this
is where it gets freaky, I'm only cuttin' and pastin'the tail portion of
the amrecover (since amrecover is working):
amrecover: stream_client: connected to 152.3.165.105.10083
amrecover: stream_client: our side is 0.0.0.0.750
amrecover: try_socksize: receive buffer size is 65536
Started amidxtaped with arguments "6 -h -p /dev/rmt/0cn chg ^/var$ 20020314"
Exec'ing /usr/sbin/ufsrestore with arguments:
restore
xbf
2
-
/mail/dpotter
Which then spawns the amidxtaped and then seems to run correctly, but
never gets past chgsfs (another machine) /var.
