Hi,
We've recently installed XFS on our system (Red Hat 7.1, kernel 2.4-5,
xfsdump-1.0.9-0) and are having some problems dumping one of our
filesystems. The dump won't fit on one tape but we're not prompted for a
media change at the end of the dump - it just dies. The dump command line
is:
/usr/sbin/xfsdump -p 300 -l 0 -o -J -f machine:/dev/nrmt0h /home
The remote device is a Seagate SCSI tape drive on a Tru64 system. Dumps
on a single tape seem fine and dumps from our IRIX machines are fine (all
fit on one tape, though), and regular dump on the Tru64 machines is able
to span multiple tapes. Has anyone else seen this and if so come up with a
work-around or solution?
Finally, just as a note, when dumping the IRIX machines, we normally use
the -m -b 245760 options, but these fail on the linux version with the
error:
xfsdump: drive_minrmt.c:2201: do_end_write: Assertion `first_rec_w_err >=
0' failed.
Thanks for the help,
