is there any reason that the dump to a pipe would be less reliable then the dump to a file?
we have openafs 1.2.11 running on debian woody and i am investigating a strange crash which happened during "vos dump" command. i made a change to the dump command to go to a pipe instead of a file (i.e. no -file option), it dumped most of the volumes with no problem and then crashed the OS. the command run is effectively (<volume-name> represents a real volume name): vos dump <volume-name> -localauth | gzip -c | split -b 1024m - $DUMP_DIRECTORY/<volume-name>.dump. there is enough space for the dumps in $DUMP_DIRECTORY. also, does a volume read-only snapshot have to be created on the same server the original volume exists on? vladimir
