directory checksum error

Dear all,

I use the command to backup OS:
/opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -l -v -a /dev/rmt/1mn

Then I verify if the backup is successful and the error is shown as the following:

# mt -t /dev/rmt/1m rew
# mt -t /dev/rmt/1m fsf 1
# tar tvf /dev/rmt/1m
Tar: blocksize = 4
directory checksum error


Anyone can help me? Thanks very much!



Best Regards
Ajk

Re: directory checksum error

Hi,

You need to use the non-rewind device file.

# mt -t /dev/rmt/1m rew
# mt -t /dev/rmt/1mn fsf 1 -------No-rewind device
# tar tvf /dev/rmt/1m

Re: directory checksum error

Hi,

use NO-REWIND device files! Otherwise the tape will be rewinded anyway.

mt -t /dev/rmt/1mn fsf 1

good luck,
Thierry.
All unix flavours are exactly the same . . . . . . . . . . for end users anyway.

Re: directory checksum error

Use the no-rewind option

/dev/rmt/1mn

n--->no rewind
