Ignite Error

[Christina Martin]

Do anyone know why this message would be displayed when trying to restore an ignite tape?

Pax: [offset 34g+0m+0k+34]: Permission denied

At the end it had:
Pax-iux: stand/vmunix.orig: the archive file appears to be corrupt.

ERROR: Cannot load OS archive (Recovery Archive)

The configuration process has encountered an error, would you like to push a shell for debugging purposes?

Shalom,

I got this once when a file was packed by pax, patched to permit files between 2-8 GB and pax_iux could not unpack a file between 2-8 GB.

The solution was to pull out the pax patch and rebuild the archive. I would think, 4 years after my problem that there is an Ignire version available that supports these big files.
