It's not spawning a "mt fsf" when I do a ps, as far as I can tell. If I strace the amrestore process I see it doing the following ioctls between file marks: ioctl(3, MTIOCTOP or SNDCTL_MIDI_MPUMODE or MGSL_IOCPARAMS "history" in amrecover lists the file marks that each tape has that image at, so I assume I'm not missing any indexes that amrestore will need. >After how long does it time out? Is there a firewall in between maybe? No firewall on the backup network, at least I've been able to back up each night, and do manual restores before. The timeouts usually occur after a half hour, I haven't timed it though. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://spacepants.org/jaq.gpg
