The following reply was made to PR bin/85011; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Heikki Suonsivu <hsu@wlansystems.com> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, Ted.Nolan@sri.com Cc: Subject: Re: bin/85011: restore(8) on 5.4 will not read Solaris-sparc dumps, whereas 4.x restore will [regression] Date: Sun, 17 Jun 2012 02:28:06 +0300 This bug still exists in 8.3-STABLE from few weeks back. Restoring tape likely written with Sunos lelu# restore -i -f file1 Tape is not a dump tape lelu# file file1 file1: dump format, 4.2 or 4.3 BSD without IDC lelu# restore -i -v -f file1 Verify tape and initialize maps Tape block size is 32 Tape is not a dump tape lelu# So, it seems that the tape is dump tape, but cannot be read. file1 has been pulled from the tape with dd. I happened to have a FreeBSD 4 in one host, and taking a binary from there seems to work.
