Hello linux-tape,
Forgive me for being impaitient, but I've posted a question to this
list twice and have received no response. My question is very
specific to ftape, and I belive to be a valid question with specific
information...here it is again:
###########################################################
I upgrade my machine to Kernel 2.2.5-15 and suddenly things were
different with ftape. First, I now have to manually load the zftape
module when I didn't before. Also, I now have to tell cpio the
block size to get it to work - I didn't have to do this before
either. But now, I have a bigger problem... Here is the command
line I use to do my backup on the subject machine:
find /home/ /home1/ /home2/ /home3/ /home4/ /etc/ /var/named/
/usr/local/ -path '/home/usr/local/webstats/*' -prune -o
-print | cpio -ovM %d --block-size=20 -H newc -F /dev/nrft0
My problem is that although the above directories only contain
about 100Mb of stuff, cpio asks me to load a new tape so it can
finish the backups - my tapes are 400Mb uncompressed!
Two questions, why is this happening, and a really dumb
question...how do I continue the backup when cpio prompts for a
new tape?
Best regards,
