It's been over a month, and I'm still having problems with my AIT-2 tape drive
(seems like I'm having a lot of amanda problems in general as of late).
As a recap... I could successfully run amdump & have amanda write dumps to
tape. But when I tried to restore data from Amanda via "am recover", I would
get the following errors:
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers
tar: A lone zero block at 1639303
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
extract_list - child returned non-zero status: 2
I've made more progress & am able to center in on the problem, I just don't
know how to resolve it. My problem occurs when I use compression on a backup,
and have the backup written to tape. For example:
Backup using Compression Fast with GNUTAR
=========================================
*) Amrecover restoring data from an image in the holding disk - successful
*) Amrecover restoring data from an image written to an AIT-2 tape - fails
Backup using no Compression with GNUTAR
=======================================
*) Amrecover restoring data from an image in the holding disk - successful
*) Amrecover restoring data from an image written to an AIT-2 tape - successful
My current Config:
Amanda - 2.4.4.p1 Tar - 1.13.94 Gzip - 1.3.5
Any suggestions are appreciated.
