- Here's the problem:
-
- I performed a level 0 dump using the following command:
-
- % dump 0o /dev/sd2a
-
- This dumped the contents of the drive to two NeXT optical disks.
- However when doing a restore via:
-
- % restore rjvf /dev/od1a
-
- It will read and restore the first disk fine but then won't eject
- the first disk when it needs the second. It keeps reporting that the
- disk in the wrong one. HELP!! How do I get my data off of the second
- disk?? I've tried all sort of permutations of the restore command and
- all of them fail when the program says it's ejecting the first disk
- and waiting for the second but never actually ejected the first disk.
-
- This problem is with a NeXTCube '040 running NeXTStep 3.0.
-
- Any help would be greatly appreciated!
-
- Mike
