Restore from Tape: /bin/tar: /dev/rmt/0bn: Cannot read: Cannot allocate memory
Hi All,
i'm having a problem here, where i cannot restore certain file from tape. This is the first time i'm using tape backup in linux.
Successful file restore with tar command:
--------------------
emlxmba[mb]% /bin/mt -f /dev/rmt/0bn rewind
emlxmba[mb]% /bin/mt -f /dev/rmt/0bn asf 2
emlxmba[mb]% /bin/tar xvf /dev/rmt/0bn
raw_flex_ft_db1327.1
Failed fail restoration with tar command:
-----------------------------------------
emlxmba[mb]% /bin/mt -f /dev/rmt/0bn rewind
emlxmba[mb]% /bin/mt -f /dev/rmt/0bn asf 1
emlxmba[mb]% /bin/tar xvf /dev/rmt/0bn
/bin/tar: /dev/rmt/0bn: Cannot read: Cannot allocate memory
/bin/tar: At beginning of tape, quitting now
/bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Certain file id (2,4,6,7,8,9..) able to restore successfully.
Certain file is (1,3,5,10..) not able to restore with above error.
I try search in the net, it says may due to block size different.
I dont understand the concept and tried the command to determine/fix block size but failed.
Anyone can help here?
Thanks,
Sabrina
