all,
I have a problem getting data of a tape, dd reports errors,
but yes I want *that* data (this is the only one).
Now I read something of dd using "conv=noerrors", but I
also read that this ONLY works if st can handle this.
I do not need the data where the error occurs but later within
that file of the tape.....
this is what happens:
mt -f /dev/nst0 asf 1
dd if=/dev/amandatape of=/backup/OUT.tgz bs=32k
dd: reading `/dev/amandatape': Input/output error
801+0 records in
801+0 records out
So I thought:
mt -f /dev/nst0 asf 1
dd if=/dev/amandatape of=/backup/OUT_02.tgz bs=32k skip=801
but that runs into the same trouble:
dd: reading `/dev/amandatape': Input/output error
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
So if I would now go to block 805 or even futher and then
pad the missing blocks with some data.
* Can I do this?
* What data would that need to be?
* Are there any other ways to pull that data of?
