SUMMARY: Help reading a tape

• Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] [ attachment ]

Hi All

Basically everyone came up with the same reason for my problem:-

> The problem you have is that ufsrestore ivf -
> reads from stdin, while it also expects your user commands from stdin
>
> try restoring in non-interactive mode
> make sure your in an empty directory
>
> so try something like
> # cd /large/empty_dir
> # rsh bowden dd if=/dev/rmt/0n bs=65534 | /usr/sbin/restore rvf -

Many thanks to:-
