I have about 10 tapes each are labeled a month and a year, so I don't think they are multi tape because they span like 3 years 2004-2007 . Although for the current tape I am working on right now if I select 1 skip, I'll get to another back up labeled "incremental backup 1" or something similar. Using the verbosity output here is what I got. (also using interactive restore). I went ahead and specified byte size 4096. Through earlier test using the dd command I determined that was the correct size. Ill post one without byte size specified too. I just saw it in that post and thought it might help. > > Here is the output with verbosity. > > http://pastebin.com/Nd6BqNc5 > > The out is the same with or without -b 4096. > > http://pastebin.com/0dxbCvyc (no -b) interactively restore from this dump? 1: skip 2: interactively restore (default) ->2 ++++================++++ missing some stuff------ ^^^ is that your comment, or actual output? Looks like it eventually encountered a short read: xfsrestore: drive op: read: wanted 131072 (0x20000) xfsrestore: tape op: reading 245760 bytes xfsrestore: tape op read of 245760 bytes short: nread == 4096 xfsrestore: tape op: get status xfsrestore: tape status = wprot onl xfsrestore: short read record 1 (nread == 4096) xfsrestore: drive op read returning error rval=1 in dmesg, is there any sort of IO error from the tape? -Eric _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
