I've been wrestling with the backup system for a while, mostly just
getting
the information about the tape unit hand me down I have. So far I have
gotten
the afs backup system to dump all volumes to the tape with success
reported.
The problems I am having now may or may not be related to the afs backup
system but I'll ask here just in case.
After I start the backup with
backup> dump all /full 0
I get a warning from butc in the form of...
Warning: Tape error while reading label (will proceed with dump)
butm: no label on tape: Cannot allocate memory
then after the dump completes, I get
Warning: can't close tape
butm: erro during tape close: Invalid argument
Updating database
Updating database - done
all.full (DumpId 1003351218): Finished. 91 volumes dumped
It seems from reading the docs that the naming issue is really not an
issue since butc
will name the tape automatically (not the perm name I know).
The thing that has got me stumped is the tape closing...
here is some more info...
cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 04 Lun: 00
Vendor: ARCHIVE Model: Python 28454-XXX Rev: 4.44
Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
mt status
SCSI 2 tape drive:
File number=93, block number=0, partition=0.
Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x8c (EXB-8505 compressed).
Soft error count since last status=0
General status bits on (81010000):
EOF ONLINE IM_REP_EN
is there something else I have to do? Seems that file number=93 is
indicating that all 91
volumes plus file markers are being written but I still don't like the
error...
the version of OpenAFS I am using is 1.1.1 on a redhat 7.1 smp box
kernel 2.4.3-12.
Any info, or pointers to information on this would be great. Thanx
