Hi, Last Friday a user managed to remove her entire home directory :) so I started an amrecover session (2.5.1p2, client is the server, irix-6.5) using the last full backup of the DLE (backed up with xfsdump). This DLE while not that big (~70GB) has a lot of small files (the uncompressed index file for the full shows ~1M entries). After a few hours waiting for the prompt back from amrecover after doing the setdisk I aborted the session, started a screen session and did the whole thing again, and left work. Later at night I reattached to my screen session and still nothing. Did the same thing Saturday morning and finally got a prompt back. But while in amrecover I tried to cd into the home of the user I got 'no such directory' or similar. Checking the index file I see all her files. And doing a 'ls' at the root of the DLE only shows part of the directory structure of the home disk. To restore her files I had to use the baremetal restore command 'dd if=<> skip=1 bs=32k | xfsrestore -i - .' Makes me a little nervous. Any one has any idea what might be the problem?
