hi,
I'm using amanda for a while (about a year now), and I get this strange
output telling me that amrecover cannot retrieve the file on the tape
<<<<<<<
amrecover DailySet -t atalante -s atalante -d /dev/rmt/0cbn
:

amrecover> ls

The following tapes are needed: DailySet22
Restoring files into directory /unige/amanda/sbin
Continue? [Y/n]: Y
Load tape DailySet22 now
Continue? [Y/n]: y <-----this step to here took only about 10 secs !!

V
./bartho/system/sysinfo/Disques is not on volume
set owner/mode for '.'? [yn] y

Because I was really needing this file, I've started to look how the
tape's file are assembled and figured out how to get THE file. Which I
firstly not found through amrecover!!!
I'm quite surprised that amrecover can define that the file is not
present on the tape after only 10secs when usually it took much more
time.
I've checked more than twice the argument given to amrecover DailySet -t
atalante -s atalante -d /dev/rmt/0cbn
In addition, I've discovered that amrestore can only work well, if I
place the DailySetTape at the right position by repeating this command:
mt -f /dev/rmt/0cbn fsf 1; dd bs=32k if=/dev/rmt/0cbn of=/tmp/qq ; head
/tmp/qq until I felt on the desired tuple <host>,<disk>...
So I'm feeling that the problem come from amrestore more than
amrecover...
any idea of what I'm doing wrong !!!
Thanks in advance
Briner
