To: current@freebsd.org Cc: mckusick@freebsd.org Subject: strange dump/restore behaviour From: Dag-Erling Smorgrav <des@ofug.org> Date: Thu, 09 Jan 2003 16:41:10 +0100 This happened while copying data over to a new disk (mounted on /mnt and /mnt/usr; the original disk has only one partition). The machine was in single-user mode, but / was mounted read-write due to restore's insistance on placing temporary files in /tmp (I found out later that it respects TMPDIR, though the man page doesn't mention it). root@dsa /mnt# dump -0Laf- / | restore -rf- DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Thu Jan 9 16:11:42 2003 DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch DUMP: Dumping snapshot of /dev/da0a (/) to standard output DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files] DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories] DUMP: estimated 1838856 tape blocks. DUMP: dumping (Pass III) [directories] DUMP: dumping (Pass IV) [regular files] warning: ./usr: File exists expected next file 4, got 3 [...] I can imagine that the file that caused the warning message was one of restore's temporary files, but a) I've never seen this before, and b) isn't -L supposed to prevent just that? DES -- Dag-Erling Smorgrav - des@ofug.org Sorry for the slow response. I tend to get behind on my freebsd.org email. The warning comes about because you had already created /mnt/usr. Since you were doing a full restore, you are getting a warning that the usr directory already exists when restore tries to create it. It complains again about finding an already existing inode (3 which was presumably the usr directory in the original dump). Neither of these are problematic or affected your restore.
