Hi! I have a problem with restoring from tape: The first tape is broken and can't be read. The second (and last) tape is OK, and I wan't to restore what is there. How can that be done? Here's what happens when I try: # restore Rvf /dev/nrsa0 Initialize symbol table. Mount tape volume 1 Enter ``none'' if there are no more tapes otherwise enter tape name (default: /dev/nrsa0) Wrong volume (2) Mount tape volume 1 Enter ``none'' if there are no more tapes otherwise enter tape name (default: /dev/nrsa0) so, I tried this # restore rvf /dev/nrsa0 Verify tape and initialize maps Tape block size is 10 Dump date: Wed Mar 29 18:25:07 2000 Dumped from: the epoch Level 0 dump of /music/h-z on trumpet.partitur.se:/dev/vinum/cluster3 Label: none Tape is not volume 1 of the dump Very informative... Same happens with restore ivf ... :( The first tape broke while restoring the data back from the tape, so I have a restoresymtable, for what it is worth... The tapes are DSS-2 (DAT 12/24 GB) using a Seagate Python taper (SCSI). This is on FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE. Dump was run as 'dump 0af /dev/nrsa0 /filesys'. How can I get the second tape's data onto a filesystem? Thanks, Palle To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
