Hi Admins, I know this topic has been discussed
before, but still I could not explain to myself what
is wrong here.
COMMAND AT LOCAL MACHINE <xxx> WITH OUTPUT:
xxx_at_/sbin/vdump -b 60k -0 -uvf - / |rsh yyy dd \
of=/dev/dat obs=60k
vdump: Status at Mon Dec 11 14:13:59 2000
vdump: Dumped 63998642 of 63998642 bytes; 100.0%
completed
vdump: Dumped 170 of 170 directories; 100.0%
completed
vdump: Dumped 1495 of 1495 files; 100.0% completed
vdump: Dump completed at Mon Dec 11 14:13:59 2000
85360+42370 records in
1012+0 records out
xxx_at_/usr/users/mollel$
(Shows success of vdump, right?)
VERIFY FROm LOCAL MACHINE:
xxx_at_/usr/users/mollel$ rsh yyy dd if=/dev/dat bs=60k \
| vrestore -t -f - (Also tried without -f)
dd read error: No space left on device
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
vrestore: unable to use save-set; invalid or corrupt
format
************* PROGRAM ABORT **************
vrestore: can't obtain fileset attributes
xxx_at_/usr/users/mollel$
(THIS IS 4MM TAPE, WITH CAPACITY OF 4GB. I BACKED UP
ONLY ROOT FILESYSTEM, which uses only
61701(1024k blocks), so why should it say no space on
device. Please help explain)
(THEN WENT TO MACHINE yyy WHICH HAS THE TAPE DEVICE)
yyy_at_/usr1/users/mollel$ mt -f /dev/dat rew
yyy_at_/usr1/users/mollel$ vrestore -t -f /dev/dat
obs=60k
vrestore: Date of the vdump save-set: Mon Dec 11
12:30:36 2000
vrestore: unable to read from device '/dev/dat';
incomplete read 512 < 65536
vrestore: unable to restore block <1>; corrupt block
Memory fault(coredump)
yyy_at_/usr1/users/mollel$
Any ideas?

Experience is what allows you to recognize
a mistake the second time you make it.
