Howdy,
I am testing ufsdump for use in backups on a Solaris 10 box. Testing was going
fine, then I get this:
bash-2.05# ufsdump 0c /dev/rmt/0 /tmp
DUMP: Warning - block 16 is beyond the end of `/dev/rmt/0'
DUMP: Warning - super-block on device `/dev/rmt/0' is corrupt - run fsck
DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted.
Seems kinda weird to run fsck on a tape device, but UNIX elevates one's
understanding of weirdness to a higher level.
I rewound the tape ('mt rewind') and retried the above command a couple of
times, but get the same result.
Should I just run 'fsck /dev/rmt/0'? Should I just erase the entire tape ('mt
erase')? Is the tape just fubar and not usable?
Thanks for your help.
John Hebert
