check_recovery

[John McDen]

When I ran the check_recovery command it displayed

Since the last System Recovery Image was created, the following system
files (or links) have been modified on the current system.

Current makrec.last
checksum 783861875 1883033064

what does this means ??

Thanks in advance

the message is something like this

Current makrec.last
checksum 783861875 1883033064

It looks like it thinks nothing has been modified since your last make_recovery was run. When you run your make_recovery do you include the '-C' option? If not, then check recovery will not work.

I personally don't like the '-C' optoin or the check_recovery command. THe '-C' option to make_recovery adds unnecessary time to the tape creation process. The rule I live by with creating make_recovery, now make_tape_recovery, tapes is that if I think I need to create a new tape, then I probably do need to, so I go ahead and do it.

I like to just create one once a week and then I don't have to worry about check_recovery.

/opt/ignite/bin/make_recovery -A -C -d /dev/rmt/0m
