Immediately after the
[INVENTORY ARCHIVER]: Found folder My Inventory <uuid> at /
OpenSim should start saying things like
[XINVENTORY SERVICE]: Fetch contents for folder
8cb6b32a-2103-4a75-a8cb-c065c0063bf9
The fact that it isn't suggests a failure with the inventory service (I'm assuming you're using the default inventory
service rather than, say, the SimianGrid one). In this situation, no amount of waiting will move things forward.
What should really happen is that the IAR save should time out, though that wouldn't really help much except to tell you
that it's failed.
Is your inventory service definitely working for all the items in your
inventory?

Thanks everyone for your responses.
Based on what WftW is saying here, it sounds like it could well still
be processing normally, even though the IAR file doesn't grow and
there's nothing on the console. I'll try it for much longer the next
time I don't need my avatar for a few days. ;)

Hi John,
this all depends on several factors ..
The size of your inventory, the speed of the inventorys asset server
and your connection to it AND the lenghth of your 'overnight' of course :-=)
When i did a backup of my inventory when OSGRID was migrationg to .7
it took me 4,5 hours.
The process is like this..
First the save.iar command looks at your inventory and
creates the final .xml structure file of the .iar
Next it starts downloading all your inventory to a temporary cache folder
After download is complete it writes everything into that .iar file
That the console window is frozen is OK. It is only frozen while creating
the .xml structure file. After that while it downloads everything the
console window is unfrozen.
I think the save.iar writes out this .xml file with every single item. So
if a house has 200 prims and 200 textures and 200 scripts it will write
600 entries for the item into that .xml file.
Also, after that first waiting the second attempt was muuuch faster as
everything was already cached ..
hope this helps ..
best regards

I'd really like to back up my inv in OSGrid, and the "save iar" and
"load iar" facility was working about six months or so ago, but I've
been trying again and it seems to hang after starting. I get:
Region (<Region name>) # save iar<1st> <2nd> /<passwd> inv.iar
05:30:11 - [INVENTORY ARCHIVER]: PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS FACILITY IS
EXPERIMENTAL. BUG REPORTS WELCOME.
05:30:11 - [INVENTORY ARCHIVER]: Saving archive inv.iar using
inventory path / for<user name>
05:30:12 - [INVENTORY ARCHIVER]: Creating version 0.1 IAR
05:30:12 - [INVENTORY ARCHIVER]: Added control file to archive.
05:30:12 - [INVENTORY ARCHIVER]: Found folder My Inventory<uuid> at /
And that's all on the console - the sim continues to work as normal,
but input on the console isn't available. 409600 bytes are written
immediately to the archive, but no more. The CPU continues to be
fairly heavily loaded, giving the impression that something is
happening.
The avatar is logged in to the region during all this. I've left it
running overnight, and there was no progress seven hours later. This
is on OpenSim 0.7.1 80f9022, running on Ubuntu, Mono 2.6.7, using
OSGrid asset server.
I know that iar is an experimental feature, but it's extremely handy.
Is there anything I can do to get it working again? Thanks.
