This is not exactly a Mandrake question, but since that is what I'm
running, I thought I would ask here. [Mandrake 8.1, by the way.]
I am making backup files (using a script that calls afio) and then
putting them on CD-R disks. Since some of the backup files are greater
than 640MB, I have to split the big file into pieces. I have used both
dd and split to do this, apparently successfully. But now when I cat
those partial files back into one big one, they seem to have errors
according to 'cmp'.
For example, using split, I end up with files backupaa and
backupab. Do a 'cat backupaa backupab > backuptest' and compare the
original backup with backuptest and get
backup backuptest differ: char 351289345, line 1341543
If I try the backuptest file with 'afio -T backuptest > backtest.txt'
I get errors, though not at the same place as cmp found.
Is this enough information for someone to give me a clue what I'm
doing wrong?
