Hi,

Last Friday a user managed to remove her entire home directory :)
so I started an amrecover session (2.5.1p2, client is the server,
irix-6.5) using the last full backup of the DLE (backed up with
xfsdump). This DLE while not that big (~70GB) has a lot of small files
(the uncompressed index file for the full shows ~1M entries). After a
few hours waiting for the prompt back from amrecover after doing the
setdisk I aborted the session, started a screen session and did the
whole thing again, and left work. Later at night I reattached to my
screen session and still nothing. Did the same thing Saturday morning
and finally got a prompt back. But while in amrecover I tried to cd
into the home of the user I got 'no such directory' or similar.
Checking the index file I see all her files. And doing a 'ls' at the
root of the DLE only shows part of the directory structure of the home
disk. To restore her files I had to use the baremetal restore command
'dd if=<> skip=1 bs=32k | xfsrestore -i - .' Makes me a little
nervous. Any one has any idea what might be the problem?

regards
