Synopsis: restore gets confused when run over pipe "Changing volumes on pipe input"
With the following command line:
( dump 0f - /dev/sd0s1x | ssh -c none newmachine 'cd /usr/old-katiska-usr && restore -xvf -' ) | & tee /tmp/logfile
at the end of input, when restore is supposed to start setting the modes
and owners of the files, this appears, endlessly:
abort? [yn] Changing volumes on pipe input?
abort? [yn] Changing volumes on pipe input?
abort? [yn] Changing volumes on pipe input?
...
I do not seem to be able to produce this on small input, but it happens
repeatably when copying 4G over a network.
Copying on a local disk with command
dump 0f - /usr | (cd /mnt; restore xvf -)
also fails, but in this case tty is connected so it keeps asking abort?
[yn] forever.
I worked around by copying the stuff with tar, but dump/restore would be a
little bit faster.
I did not try interactive mode; that might work better if you manage to get
into restore prompt and use setmodes command.
This may be very serious problem it this means that recovering large
backups from tape is impossible.
