Re: xfsdump and tar on same tape

[Xavier Poirier <xpoirier@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This seems to work for me, look:

# mt -f /dev/nst0 setblk 0
# mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
# xfsdump -f /dev/nst0 /home
# mt -f /dev/nst0 status|grep "File number"|cut -d "," -f 1|cut -d "="
-f 2      (to get next session number)
# tar cvf /dev/nst0 /boot
 
 And to restore:
 
# mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
# mt -f /dev/nst0 fsf X (where X is session number I've get before)
# tar tvf /dev/nst0

I read my tar session and xfsdump session !
Good

Xavier
