amrecover error
2003-03-23 16:37:43
I've seen a number of postings showing errors something
like shown below which I just encountered.
A difference is that I could see exactly what was
the problem.
amrecover> extract
Extracting files using tape drive /dev/rmt/0ln on host butch.
The following tapes are needed: DS1-16
Restoring files into directory /var/tmp/recover
Continue [?/Y/n]? y
Extracting files using tape drive /dev/rmt/0ln on host butch.
Load tape DS1-16 now
Continue [?/Y/n/s/t]? y
EOF, check amidxtaped.<timestamp>.debug file on butch.
amrecover: short block 0 bytes
UNKNOWN file
For reasons I don't understand, frequently when I issue a rewind
tape command the command returns before the tape has finished
rewinding. If I then try to do anything with the tape, I either
receive an error message or block until the rewind is completed.
All that happened above was that amrecover issued a rewind that
returned before the action was complete. When it tried to read
the tape label the lights were still blinking from the rewind
and amrecover received an error.
I just continued with the amrecover and when I tried to extract
again the tape was rewound and all went fine.
Just a point to file away in dusty memory cells.
