Hello DUnix Managers,
I had send the mail in the morning. I am sorry, I forgot to mention
the Digital Unix version. Our Dunix version is 3.0b on Digital Alpha
3000 300lx.
--------------------------------------------------------------
In my first mail, You must received following msg.
We take the backup with the following tar command on DAT.
tar rvf /dev/rmt0h a b c
Here a, b, and c indicates file names.
When tar backup is finished for file a and b has just started,
someone has interrupted it by killing the tar process. My problem is,
the end of file mark for file b is not written on the DAT. When I
execute following command on the same DAT:
tar tvf /dev/rmt0h
It shows file a and b on the DAT and gives the message that enter
the next volume. This may be mainly because, end of file mark for
last file ( b ) has not written on the DAT. Same way, I used to take
backup on different UNIX flavor, I have never faced such problem.
Anybody knows, what could be the reason. Is there a patch required
for DUnix tar command. Can any body provide some clue, suggestion on
this.
Thanking you in advance. I will summarize.
