[OpenAFS-devel] Off by one bug in backup volrestore.

[Ken Aaker]

I've been trying to do a volrestore of a single volume from a full dump 
tape that has 28 volumes on it. The volrestore would fail with a 
"corrupted volume header" message.

I ran butc under gdb and found out that the parameters passed to 
Restorer included a position parameter of 4, when the volume I wanted 
was actually the 3rd volume on the dump tape. When I used the debugger 
to set the position to 3, the restore worked.  I was trying to find 
where the parameter block that was given to Restorer was built, but I 
got lost in the handoff between processes.

I'm not certain how to proceed from here... I will try to provide any 
additional information that you need, but I'm not sure what that would be.

Thanks,

Ken Aaker
