I decided to start using tar for a particular machine but received the following for one of the file systems (the rest of the machine backed up without problems):
FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: utnetdb.gw /usr lev 0 FAILED [/usr/local/bin/tar returned 2] /-- utnetdb.gw /usr lev 0 FAILED [/usr/local/bin/tar returned 2] sendbackup: start [utnetdb.gw.utexas.edu:/usr level 0] sendbackup: info BACKUP=/usr/local/bin/tar sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/usr/local/bin/tar -f... - sendbackup: info end ? gtar: ./X11R6/share/locale/fr: Cannot stat: Input/output error ? gtar: ./home/uttelnetuser/.login: Cannot stat: Input/output error ? gtar: ./home/uttelnetuser/.login_conf: Cannot stat: Input/output error ? gtar: ./home/uttelnetuser/.mailrc: Cannot stat: Input/output error ? gtar: ./home/uttelnetuser/.profile: Cannot stat: Input/output error ? gtar: ./home/uttelnetuser/.shrc: Cannot stat: Input/output error ? gtar: ./home/uttelnetuser/.mail_aliases: Cannot stat: Input/output error ? gtar: ./home/uttelnetuser/.rhosts: Cannot stat: Input/output error ? gtar: ./local/include/tcl8.3/unix: Cannot stat: Input/output error ? gtar: ./local/lib/expect5.32/libexpect532.a: Cannot stat: Input/output error ? gtar: ./local/lib/expect5.32/pkgIndex.tcl: Cannot stat: Input/output error ... ... ... | Total bytes written: 1635614720 (1.5GB, 235kB/s) ? gtar: Error exit delayed from previous errors sendbackup: error [/usr/local/bin/tar returned 2] \-------- Any thoughts on what this means? Tried searching through the archives and found one or two questions on this but no answers. Oscar
