I would really appreciate some advice. Thanks, Ben Begin forwarded message: From: Ben Stuyts Date: Mon, 27 Jul 98 16:26:04 +0200 To: stable@freebsd.org Subject: tar to remote tape drive stopped working Hi, I cvsupped/rebuilt -stable on the 23rd of july, and since then I've been having a problem using tar on a remote tape drive. I think a kernel built on the 17th of July still worked. I can reproduce it on the local machine like this. As root, using no host name in the tape file name. everything works fine: # tar tfv /dev/rst0 V--------- 0/0 0 Jul 27 05:20 1998 level 1 backup of / on nemesis at Mon Jul 27 05:20:05 MET DST 1998 Volume 1--Volume Header-- drwxr-xr-x root/wheel 250 Jul 24 11:58 1998 ./ drwxr-xr-x bin/bin 179 Jul 24 11:20 1998 ./bin/ ...etc And now using the local host's name in the tape file name: # tar tfv nemesis:/dev/rst0 tar: can't open nemesis:/dev/rst0 : Input/output error Permissions (.rhosts, etc) seem to be ok. Any idea what could be causing this? Thanks, Ben To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
