Hello,
I replying to share with you, what I found out with this problem. Thanks to
the one who replyed to me. Well, it took a while for me to find out the
following:
With solaris 8 you can have a mount opption "logging" (See the mount_ufs man
page). With this I get the error described below. With out this option the
restore works fine.
On the amanda page there ist a patch available for the advfs but I didn't
have the time to try it out if this would fix the problem. The description
doesn't really say something about my problem. Maybe somebody tried it
already.
All in all, what I can say now, be carefully with the logging option for
mounting on solaris 8!!

Subject: changing volumes on pioe input
Hello list,
can somebody please help me with the following problem:
I'm using amanda 2.4.2p2 on Solaris 8 and I don't have a tape device,
therfore I need to restore from the holdingdisk. The backup runs fine, I'm
doing a full backup (always-full) on each run. But with the restore I'm
having problems.
I'm trying to restore from the holding disk, after I mounted the directory
from the backup server. I use the following command:
dd if=/a/20010515/volvo._dev_dsk-c0t0d0s7.0 bs=32k skip=1 | ufsrestore -ifv
-
After entering the command, the ufsrestore runs fine for a while. Then I get
the following message:
42267+0 records in
42267+0 records out
changing volumes on pipe input
abort? [yn]
The only thing I can do at this point is to abort the restore. When I abort
it the system core is dumped. It looks to me as it only occurs while
restoring partitions arround or greater 1 Gbyte.
When I dump the image into a file f. e.:
dd if=volvo._dev_dsk-c0t0d0s7.0 bs=32k skip=1 of=volvopart7
and run ufsrestore:
ufsrestore -ifv ./volvopart7
ufsrestore expects a second volume. But there is no second volume...:-(((
Any help or ideas would be appreciated
Wolfgang
