CPIO Issues


THE FOLLOWING IS RUN IN A SCRIPT TO COPY TO THE TAPE:


find /backup/OLTP_exp*.dmp.Z > copy-oltp-to-tape
find /backup2/OLTP_exp*.dmp.Z >> copy-oltp-to-tape
find /backup4/OLTP_exp*.dmp.Z >> copy-oltp-to-tape
find /backup/*oltp* >> copy-oltp-to-tape
cat copy-oltp-to-tape | cpio -ocvB > /dev/st0


THE FOLLOWING IS RUN TO READ FROM THE TAPE AND STORE
THE RESULTS IN A FILE CALLED "tape-contents":

cpio -itvcB < /dev/st0 > tape-contents


Normally,the following would be seen:

[linux]$ cpio -itvcB < /dev/st0 > tape-contents
1289200 blocks



But the following error is appearing:

[linux]$ cpio -itvcB < /dev/st0 > tape-contents
cpio: warning: skipped 87566004 bytes of junk
cpio: warning: skipped 87535284 bytes of junk

The tape is active.
