- I'm having some problems with find/cpio ...
- run as root (thru cron and not)
-
- find / -print | cpio -ovB > /dev/rjt0
-
- works fine
-
- find / -depth -print | cpio -ovB > /dev/rjt0
-
- gives the following warning message:
-
- cpio: WARNING: Cannot obtain information about file: "".
- 253620 blocks
-
- this message is the last line before the final block count ...
- I can't seem to find out what it's referring to ... I tried starting
- find out at /dira which is the last branch done before this warning msg
- and the problem didn't happen ... also worth noting is that the output
- of all commands in this backup script is redirected to a /tmp/log file
- (I do an erase of the tape first and some echoing of msgs into the file)
- I'm starting to suspect that this has something to do with the /tmp/log
- file ... but I'm wondering why I didn't have the problem before adding
- the -depth option to find ... can anyone out there offer some info?
