Hi!
I had written an archive with afio that was split among two tapes. The command
used was
afio -o -s 2000m -c 8192 -g -v -E extensions -L log -M 16m -T 3k -Z /dev/ntape <
files
To restore it, I used
afio -i -s 2000m -n -v -Z /dev/ntape
When restoring it, after it asks for the second tape and I insert it (and let it
do its thing) then I hit Enter and I get the error: EOF reached, asking for the
next volume. Seems like it thinks the file on the second tape has zero length,
although I know this not to be the case. I tried reading the second tape
directly with the -k switch, but the effect is the same, it reaches EOF on the
first block.
Before declaring the archive bad and lost, I'm looking for ideas as to what I
might be doing wrong.
Also, is there a way to erase the EOF mark at the beginning of the second tape
so afio may start restoring files at the first noncorrupt point?
Thanks! |
