Im trying to back up a 1.2 GB file system onto an 8mm exabyte
tape with the following command:
bru -cvvf user@host:/dev/extape /usr1
Bru works a while but stops with an error
c 4k of 329784k [1] ./people/darden/tcolor.c
c 4k of 329788k [1] ./people/darden/trgb.c
c 4k of 329792k [1] ./people/darden/tdepthq.c
c 138k of 329930k [1] ./people/darden/tcolor
c 140k of 330070k [1] ./people/darden/trgb
bru: warning - assuming end of volume 1 (unknown size)
bru: warning - close error on archive: I/O error
bru: load volume 2 and enter device [default: user@host:/dev/extape]
>>
Bru apparently thinks I've run out of tape, when in
reality I haven't. If the device has an unknown size, why would it
stop? Do I need a new Brutab entry for /dev/extape, or should I just
try to fool it with bru -s VERY_LARGE_NUMBER ... ?
