I recently moved from solaris to linux so I am testing amrestore
again. I keep getting the following error:
EOF, check amidxtaped.debug file on chena.
amrecover: short block 0 bytes
UNKNOWN file
amrecover: Can't read file header
extract_list - child returned non-zero status: 1
However, amidxtaped shows:
amidxtaped: debug 1 pid 32054 ruid 250 euid 250 start time Thu Jun 6 11:24:51 2002
amidxtaped: version 2.4.2p2
> SECURITY USER root
bsd security: remote host thames user root local user amanda
amandahosts security check passed

Ready to execv amrestore with:
path = /usr/local/sbin/amrestore
argv[0] = "amrestore"
argv[1] = "-h"
argv[2] = "-p"
argv[3] = "/dev/ait2"
argv[4] = "thames"
argv[5] = "^/export/private$"
argv[6] = "20020606"
amrestore: could not open tape /dev/ait2: Permission denied
amidxtaped: amrestore terminated normally with status: 2
Rewinding tape: no tape online
amidxtaped: pid 32054 finish time Thu Jun 6 11:24:51 2002
But amanda has read and write permisson to the drive:
$ ls -l /dev/nst0
crw-rw---- 1 root disk 9, 128 Aug 30 2001 /dev/nst0
I can read for the tape with dd:
$ mt -f /dev/ait2 fsf 1; dd if=/dev/ait2 bs=32k count=1
AMANDA: FILE 20020606 zambezi /boot lev 1 comp N program /bin/gtar
To restore, position tape at start of file and run:
dd if=<tape> bs=32k skip=1 | /bin/gtar -f... -
etc, all the way thru the tape.
This is not good. No one cares about backups, only restores. So any
ideas why amrestore does not work?
I am using amanda version 2.4.2p2
