Re: no one here use restore/dump?
nobody here do backups of their systems? strange?! I backup and restore using those self-named tools on a variety of DLT and 4mm DAT tape drives. 4mm DDS DAT kinda sucks, and they are super-sensitive to being cleaned a lot. i'm using DVD+RW discs. after doing dvd+rw-format for a first time, it could be used directly (as /dev/acd1) for dump but blocksize must be 32 and -B 4590208 must be entered. Did you have a more specific question...? yes - i did before. i have problems with restore. dump is about 60GB and 1.5 million files. two problems when doing restore -rvf /device 1) after extracting all directory listing it starts to do Make node... but after some of it done, it starts to take 100% CPU and work for about 1 hour on PII/400 before finishing it. eventually it finishes, so it's not such a big problem 2) after restoring 7 volumes, at 8-th volume it tried to prepend ? to every pathname extracted so it resulted in error unable to create. doing ln -s \? . and restarting restore from 8-th volume worked and i was able to finish things. why restore failed? and how to dump without fear! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Are you restoring to an empty new filesystem which has just been newfs'ed with similar inode parameters to the original source of the backup? 2) after restoring 7 volumes, at 8-th volume it tried to prepend ? to every pathname extracted so it resulted in error unable to create. doing ln -s \? . and restarting restore from 8-th volume worked and i was able to finish things. why restore failed? and how to dump without fear! I haven't seen that sort of problem myself. Are you sure the original filesystem is OK and doesn't contain any weird symlinks which could have confused dump? Try to fsck it and test a new dump/restore sequence. Did you use the -L flag to dump using a snapshot, that may help... -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
