Hi, I'm having problems recovering files on one of my servers. Everything goes smoothly when I run amrecover until the time comes to extract. I load the tape it asks for, but it comes back w/ this error:
Extracting files using tape drive /dev/nst1 on host godzilla.tonservices.com. Load tape DailySet1039 now Continue [?/Y/n/s/t]? y EOF, check amidxtaped.<timestamp>.debug file on godzilla.tonservices.com. amrecover: short block 0 bytes UNKNOWN file amrecover: Can't read file header extract_list - child returned non-zero status: 1 So I go over to my tape server and check the debug files like it tells me too (here is the relevant portion): amrestore: 0: skipping start of tape: date 20060502 label DailySet1039 amrestore: 1: skipping nigel.tonservices.com._usr_local_svn_repos.20060502.1 amrestore: error reading file header: Device or resource busy amidxtaped: time 10.636: amrestore terminated normally with status: 2 amidxtaped: time 10.636: rewinding tape ... amidxtaped: time 21.420: done Device or resource busy? I haven't seen it do this before. I'm assuming it means my tape-drive? I'm not sure why it would be busy, but does anyone know what I could to do fix this? Thanks, Cameron Matheson
