After Afio has created an archive it produces a message similar to: 'afio: Final count: 7m+12k+0 bytes written'
Is the size given the size of the files before they were archived or is it the size of the compressed archive? My next query is not produced by Afio but by the SCSI Tape module when Afio was running. I use Afio in my backup script and the last backupo failed because, I think, the tape was faulty. I have since re-run the backup successfully with a different tape. However during the failed backup the following messages were added to /var/log/messages: Sep 26 09:07:55 DATAMAN1 kernel: st0: Error with sense data: Info fld=0x3fff, Current st09:00: sense key Medium Error Sep 26 09:07:55 DATAMAN1 kernel: Additional sense indicates Medium format corrupted This in itself is not surprising but there were about 20,000 similar lines. Could that be considered normal under the circumstances? Barry Samuels
