My Amanda (2.2.6.6) tape server is on a Sparc1, and one of my clients is an
Alpha 3000/500 running OSF/1 3.2. When I tried to do an interactive
restore:
% rsh bass amrestore -p /dev/nrst8 mays rz18c | sudo restore -ivf -
It works up to the point where I get the restore> prompt. Then I try 'ls', cd
foo, etc. It looks like restore gets into an I/O blocking condition waiting
for more input from stdin. Meanwhile, the amrestore process (on the
tapeserver) has quit and gzip is sleeping, waiting (and waiting and
waiting...)
I tried
% rsh bass amrestore -p /dev/nrst8 mays rz18c | sudo restore -hvf - -x /foo
because all I wanted were the user's tilde-slash-dot files. But -h and -x
conspired to restore *just* the directory, but nothing in it (not
hierarchical, but a little too extreme if you ask me).
I finally resorted to:
% rsh bass amrestore -p /dev/nrst8 mays rz18c | sudo restore -vf - -x /foo
and deleted everything I didn't want (which was a lot!). There's got to
be a better way! Any ideas on what I've forgotten?
Thanks!
