I wanted to transfer a directory tree from one machine to a second and
observed the following:
If I try
rsh remotehost /sbin/vdump -0 -q -D -f - /tmp | /sbin/vrestore -xf - -D /tmp
I get the error
path : /tmp
vrestore: Date of the vdump save-set: Tue Jun 30 17:20:51 1998
vrestore: empty save-set
vrestore: nothing will be restored
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
but if I try
rsh remotehost /sbin/vdump -0 -q -D -f - /tmp "|" cat | /sbin/vrestore -xf - -D /tmp
all works fine.
The behavior is the same under Digital UNIX V4.0B and Digital UNIX V4.0D.
Any ideas ?
