I've been playing with rait & I haven't been successful yet.
Is rait touchy about the tape drives being identical? My 3rd exb8505 was
dead from the get go so I tried using an ait-1 in it's place.
amlabel & amdump seem to run fine, but I cannot get amrestore to pull the
backups off tape. It bypasses
the host/filesystem no matter how I enter it. Even if I leave the host/fs
field blank to restore the entire tape, it skips
right by everything.
I also tried using amdd manually, but tar always complains - typically:
Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers
After an amlabel, st0 & st2 will have the typical am header, while st1
seems to have a blank header. Is that nornal?
st0 = ait; st1,2=exb8505 all on the same scsi bus.
amanda.conf:
tapedev "rait:/dev/nst{0,1,2}"
define tapetype RAIT1 {
comment "RAIT - AIT, 2 8505"
length 20000 mbytes
filemark 900 kbytes
speed 500 kbytes
}
Thanks
