- I recently tried the following command:
-
- rsh gate rdump 0cf /dev/rst8 /files
-
- and got the following results:
-
- DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Wed Aug 19 22:17:05 1992
- DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
- DUMP: Dumping /dev/rsd1a (/files) to /dev/rst8
- DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
- DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories]
- DUMP: estimated 149186 blocks (72.84MB) on 1.70 tape(s).
- DUMP: dumping (Pass III) [directories]
- DUMP: dumping (Pass IV) [regular files]
- DUMP: 40.03% done, finished in 0:07
- DUMP: Tape rewinding
- DUMP: Change Volumes: Mount volume #2
- DUMP: fopen on /dev/tty fails
- DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted.
-
- This has occurred on more than one sparc station running
- 4.1.2 (or from an HP/apollo node running X-windows) where
- the dump requires more than one ctape to complete
- the dump. If the command is run on the node where the ctape
- is physically attached, it also fails.
- If the coomand does not require more than one ctape for the
- dump, all runs OK.
-
- It seems that the problem lies in how the display is handled.
-
- Does anyone know of a patch/workaround/fix for this?
-
- I've looked through lists a Sun patches that I have, but
- none of them seem to address this problem.
-
- Any help would be appreciated.
-
- Thanks in advance.
