Which strace output do you monitor to see the process is hung up?
Sorry, I've only little experience with low level stuff.
I usually start with the general strace <pid>, if I see the process
doing "things" then I know it's not truly stuck. Sometimes I will limit
it to only showing file open, so I can see as it progresses through a
backup (or restore in your case), or I might use ls -l /proc/<pid>/fd to
see which files are currently open/in use, if I see the files changing,
then I know it's not stuck, and I can get some idea on the progress.
Regards,
Adam

OK, I just saw Raoul's message.
Backuppc_zcat is the tool I need.
Thanks Raoul
Personally, I prefer strace.

Thanks Brad but linux complains it's zlib and can't handle it.
adam@gondolin:~$ sudo zcat
/media/backuppc/usbbackup/backuppc/pc/erebor/RestoreLOG.26.z
gzip: /media/backuppc/usbbackup/backuppc/pc/erebor/RestoreLOG.26.z:
not
in gzip format
adam@gondolin:~$ sudo file
/media/backuppc/usbbackup/backuppc/pc/erebor/RestoreLOG.26.z
/media/backuppc/usbbackup/backuppc/pc/erebor/RestoreLOG.26.z: zlib
compressed data
adam@gondolin:~$
I can't find a command line tool package with cat or less either :(
What do you do then? Just WTF & kill it?
Cheers
Adam

You could try zless or zmore, e.g. zless RestoreLOG.z
--b

Hi
I'm using 3.3.0 on Linux Mint, to restore to a linux laptop.
I'm trying to access the restore log for a restore that is now
running
for about 12 hours and surely should be done. I can see there's a
substantial RestoreLOG.z but I can't tail it because it's
compressed.
Is there a way?
I'd like to know what it's trying to do before I kill it.
Assuming it is frozen, I'd also appreciate it if someone can tell
me
the best way to kill the job without losing the log.
Thanks!
Adam
