This one burned me too :-) Update tar to at least 1.13.17. I've found that 1.13.17 and 1.13.19 both work

After I did an amdump to test out dumping our - disks to tape, I tried to do an amrecover to see if restoring the data - would work. It seems to work for our linux machines, but the solaris box - has some trouble. When I start up amrecover, it reports: - ... - 200 Config set to imash. - 501 No index records for host: hostname. Invalid? - Trying hostname.domainname... - 200 Dump host set to hostname.domainname - ... - - - Then I do a setdisk /etc and it reports: - - 200 Disk set to /etc. - No index records for disk for specified date - If date correct, notify system administrator - - So I figured that the index must not have been created for some reason, - but I checked that out on the server and it looks fine. Has the right - permissions and ownership. The wierd thing is, if I look into the index - files for the host that's giving me trouble, they look a little different - than the others. It looks like this: - - 06573011000/./security/dev/audio - 06573011000/./security/dev/fd0 - 06573011000/./security/dev/sr0 - 06573011000/./security/dev/st0 - 06573011000/./security/dev/st1 - ... - - Whereas for the linux hosts, the index looks like this: - - / - /CORBA/ - /CORBA/servers/ - /X11/ - ... - - (these are just the contents of /etc on each host). The version of tar on - the solaris machine is 1.13. I've heard tar can cause some problems. Do - you think that might be it? - - Thanks for your help! - - Rafe - - -- -- Stephen Carville UNIX and Network Administrator Ace Flood USA 310-342-3602 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
