Hi I see Jesse is still having difficulty with his EZ17. I can't sit back smugly as mine is still likely to fail from time to time with precisely the same out-of-tape error after only writing a small percent.
In both our cases, I understand the hardware compression is off and the tapetype is correct. However, it still will sometimes run "out of-tape" especially when there is a level zero on one of the BIG filesystems. However, it _IS_ a lot more reliable now on these filesystems. The changes done that I feel have contributed to assist were: * Adding a second holding disk and so I've got a lot more space. * Being sure h/w compression was OFF * (less direct) starting lots of PC backups using smbclient! This seems to give AMANDA something else to whinge about (STRANGE/offline etc.) and seems to allow my big filesystems to backup up reliably. Or so it seemed..... However, trying to amrestore from one of these file-systems has me reaching for the Highland Park!!! ed.root(11)=> amrestore -p /dev/rmt/1mn toronto /home5 | ufsrestore ivbf 2 - amrestore -p /dev/rmt/1mn toronto /home5 | ufsrestore ivbf 2 - Verify volume and initialize maps amrestore: 0: skipping start of tape: date 20020607 label MUL21 amrestore: 1: restoring toronto._home5.20020607.0 Note: doing byte swapping Dump date: Fri Jun 07 02:23:40 2002 Dumped from: the epoch Level 0 dump of /home5 on toronto:/dev/sdb5 Label: none Extract directories from tape Error 32 (Broken pipe) offset 163840+32768, wrote 0 amrestore: pipe reader has quit in middle of file. amrestore: skipping ahead to start of next file, please wait... Segmentation Fault - core dumped ed.root(12)=> Is this back up as worthless as a three pound (dollar) note?? Or is their a way to get its data back??
