Hi, This is maybe a small problem you may had so you might help : When I use restore on a host with the file on this host, there is no problem.
Now, when I use restore across the lan, it still works but never stops : ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'amrestore -p /dev/nsa0.1 myClient /var '|restore -tvf - This command gives me a nice listing, as in the local case, but hangs at the end. It never returns to shell. If I try to use that command to actually restore files, it also works, but again without ending. A ctrl-c is my only way out. In the man amrecover, I can read : -p Pipe output. [...] Note: restore may report "short read" errors when reading from a pipe. Most versions of restore support a blocking factor option to let you set the read block size, and you should set it to 2. See the example below. Ok, I don't know what a 'blocking factor' is. Under FreeBSD or OpenBSD, the only option I have for restore is the -b (for blocksize), and I can't use 2 for that. I tried with 32k, but no change. I guess I have to try the same operation under linux to see what's happening. -- Nicolas Ecarnot
