It appears you did the "mt fsf" after the dump.
I meant for that to be done only when you were
doing a restore, and to do so after the xfsrestore
completed. The following sequence works for me:
You might want to try using variable block mode
on your tape device, if it supports it:
# mt -f /dev/nst0 setblk 0
Then do your backups:
# mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
# xfsdump -f /dev/nst0 /home
# tar cvf /dev/nst0 /boot
And to restore:
# mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
# xfsrestore -f /dev/nst0 /somepath
# mt -f /dev/nst0 fsf 1
# tar xvf /dev/nst0

not working , see also :
(next to xfsdump -f /dev/nst0 /home)
mt -f /dev/nst0 fsf 1
/dev/nst0: Input/output error

After xfsrestore completes, issue "mt -f /dev/nstX fsf 1"
to seek to the next file and then run tar.

hi,
I want to make a backup of my two filesystems witch are:
/ (EXT2)
/home (XFS)
I want to do an XFSDUMP of /home with no-rewind capabilities
of the
tape and add next a TAR of / to the end.
The problem is that I cannot read TAR archive of the tape
(xfsdump
read without problem), I don't know the number session to go
on the tape.
Any idea?
Xavier
