Hello,
We are trying to dump a remote filesystem (linux) in a tape hosted in a
D.U-3.2C alpha machine(host name: fpddux.usc.es). Using rdump we get the
following error message:
# /sbin/rdump 0uf fpddux.usc.es:/dev/nrmt0h /home/besugo
DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Tue Mar 3 17:43:33 1998
DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
DUMP: Dumping /dev/hda1 (/home/besugo) to /dev/nrmt0h on host fpddux.usc.es
DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories]
DUMP: estimated 458 tape blocks on 0.01 tape(s).
DUMP: Protocol to remote tape server botched (code "rmt: Command not
found.").
rdump: Lost connection to remote host.
DUMP: Bad return code from dump: 1
The .rhosts file in the alpha machine contains the host name of the linux
machine, with root as username. Permissions of this file are read-write for the
owner(root).
The rmt command is installed in both machines in the location:
/etc/rmt /usr/sbin/rmt in the alpha machine
/etc/rmt /sbin/rmt in the linux machine
After searching in the archives, we have tried:
# /sbin/dump 0uf - /home/besugo | rsh fpddux.usc.es "dd of=/dev/nrmt0h"
DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Tue Mar 3 17:42:45 1998
DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
DUMP: Dumping /dev/hda1 (/home/besugo) to standard output
DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories]
DUMP: estimated 457 tape blocks.
dd write error: I/O error
13+2 records in
0+0 records out
DUMP: Broken pipe
DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted.
Any help would be appreciated.
