Hello,
I'd like to see what are there as data on a tape but not in using amanda commands. I tried with tar and dd command without result. Does someone know how I could do that ?
From the docs/RESTORE file:
#!/bin/sh TAPEDEV=</dev/nrtape> while mt -f $TAPEDEV fsf 1 ; do dd if=$TAPEDEV bs=32k count=1 | head -1 sleep 1 done
Is this what you're looking for? tapedev must be the no-rewind device. head -1 gives the contents; head -3 gives the command to restore too.
Or do you want the index of contents of one particular file on tape, then: mt -f $TAPEDEV rewind mt -f $TAPEDEV fsf <somenumber> and read the file, skipping over the first 32k amanda header, with a suitable command (gnutar or restore, with gzip in between if needed) e.g. for a compressed gnutar image: dd if=$TAPEDEV bs=32k skip=1 | gzip -d | gtar -tvf -
