As Stephen Hocking wrote: > Don't know - I tried dumping again (this time making sure that the fs was unmounted, last time it was just quiescent) and then interactively restoring gain. I took note of where the inodes started from for each tape (I love the scrollback on xterm) and when I did the interactive restore, chose the tape dependent on the inode of each file, as shown by the directory on tape 1 and extracted. It still said "resyncing on restore, skipped 33 blocks" but found the files OK. Wish I knew why it was resyncing - I'll probably dive in with a debugger one of these days. (Hmm, this was a mammut line. :-) I usually write down the starting i-node numbers, too. And i generally see the `resync' messages, but i didn't care by now. It always worked as expected. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
