Hi managers,
yesterday I wanted to restore filesystem from tape using
restore - counterpart of the dump which was used to backup
the partitions. in fact, I have to tell you that our backup strategy
is far away from "hanoii-tower". I mean, in our system we
use this backup facility after a SW patch, which is very rare. In that
occasion, we used to make a dump at level 0, and that is it. (sic. I know,
it is not safe, but against my will, the management doesn't
want to spend more money for more tapes...)
so, after I made "dump 0uf /dev/nrmt0h /", I wanted to restore it on
the spare Alpha 500 (V4.0D) station with "restore rf /dev/nrmt0h"
on the mounted disk partition. which had no errors, and labeled
correctly.
at the first stage the application printed out the following error message:
"corrupted directory ./etc/.new..passwd"
then followed by these messages
.
expected next file 3227, got 3224
expected next file 3227, got 3226
expected next file 3280, got 3279
expected next file 6023, got 3330
expected next file 6023, got 3331
.
and the result was NOK, because the most files
were missing from /etc. I checked the filesystem on the
source node. fsck did tell nothing about errors.
what should be the problem?
