I had the unfortunate disaster of two hard disk failures after a bad weather storm here in Austin, TX. (Don't buy Quantum Empire 1080s disks!!) Anyway, I'm going to get them repaired (under warranty) -- suggestions for other hard disks would be good! (Fast SCSI-2, around 1GB in size?) Anyways -- I had to restore my filesystems from my DDS-2 4mm DAT (Sony) drive. I've been using dump to back them up: eg. /sbin/dump 0undf 61000 /dev/nrst0 / [...] I went to restore and some of the filesystems restored just fine. Would complete all the way and then say "set owner/mode for '.' [y/n]?" and finish just fine. Some would go and restore lots of files and then say: Specify next volume #: Even though it all was "dump'd" to one tape and succeeded just fine. Of course entering anything here would just not work... if I entered the same volume number (1) it would SIGSEGV. I found out the hard way that it didn't restore everything, and of course left the filemodes of the directories wrong. I could then restore interactively (restore ivsf <saveset> /dev/rst0) and then say "add <fn>" and extract.. It would then find that file, extract it and exit normally. Suggestions? I want to move to 2.0.5 (or 2.1) is restore compatible with the dumps from 1.1.5.1???? -- | Lenny Tropiano ICUS Software Systems lenny@icus.com | | 2301 Spring Wagon Lane, Austin, TX 78728 | +-------------------- URL: http://www.icus.com/~lenny/ --------------------+
