Hi, I have a problem with amverify. Or more correctly, I don't quite see why I get the output I do:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ amverify bertha-us No tape changer... Tape device is /dev/nst0... Verify summary to amanda Defects file is /tmp/amanda/amverify.28777/defects amverify bertha-us Wed Jun 11 15:40:21 PDT 2003 Using device /dev/nst0 Waiting for device to go ready... Rewinding... Processing label... Volume DailySet148, Date 20030605 Rewinding... End-of-Tape detected. Rewinding... [EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ There are files on the tape--I can dd them off. I can't extract the files using the method encoded in the header record of the data files--gzip complains that it's not looking at a gzip file. or maybe it's restore complaining about the : [EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ dd if=/dev/nst0 bs=32k skip=1 | /bin/gzip -dc | /sbin/restore ibf 2 - gzip: stdin: not in gzip format /sbin/restore: Tape read error on first record 0+33 records in 0+32 records out The host is a linux box, RH7.2. Tape drive is an Exabyte Mammoth-LT. I'm running amanda 2.4.2p2, gzip v1.3, gnutar 1.13.25, and have been for some time. As seems to be always the case, this used to work, and I didn't change anything...well, I did set the drive to variable block size per the Exabyte support page with $ mt -f /dev/nst0 setblk 0 Any help appreciated. Thanks, -Adam
