I have a FreeBSD (rel. 4.5) fileserver and a Debian (patato, kernel 2.4.14) backupserver with a DLT. I make my backups from the linuxbox via ssh : # ssh -l root fileserver "dump -h0 -a -u -f - /dev/da0s1e" > /dev/nst0 That means the dump command is executed on the Freebsd-machine. That works fine. Dump tells me finally DUMP IS DONE. But I can't restore: debianbox:/data/restore# restore -i -f /dev/nst0 restore: Tape read error on first record strace reveales: read(0, 0x8050000, 10240) = -1 EIO (Input/output error) The maintainer of linux dump/restore helped me a lot, but still without a solution. He suggested to pipe the dump to dd to tune the block size. I even can't read the dump with dd. strace shows the same as above. Dumps made with linux dump (from another fileserver) are readable and I don't have problems to restore them. After all I'm not sure whether the problem is Linux-restore or FreeBSD-dump. Maybe somebody has a clue? Thanx for any help! Regards, bm. ------------------------------------------------ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!
