I have a puzzling problem with dump and restore. I'm looking to implement a dump and restore pipe to automatically make copy of a file system onto another system completely. I've used / only as an example (because it's small) and I'm not overwriting /.
I do the following: 1. Level 0 dump and restore pipe which works as expected frem# dump 0auLf - / | ( restore -rf - ) DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Thu Oct 6 16:16:17 2005 DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch DUMP: Dumping snapshot of /dev/ad0s1a (/) to standard output DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files] DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories] DUMP: estimated 54582 tape blocks. DUMP: dumping (Pass III) [directories] DUMP: dumping (Pass IV) [regular files] expected next file 8069, got 818 DUMP: DUMP: 55429 tape blocks DUMP: finished in 19 seconds, throughput 2917 KBytes/sec DUMP: level 0 dump on Thu Oct 6 16:16:17 2005 DUMP: DUMP IS DONE 2. I touch a file, just to make a difference, then do a level 1 dump and restore which works as expected (the new file is extracted). frem# touch /hello frem# dump 1auLf - / | ( restore -rf - ) DUMP: Date of this level 1 dump: Thu Oct 6 16:16:50 2005 DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: Thu Oct 6 16:16:17 2005 DUMP: Dumping snapshot of /dev/ad0s1a (/) to standard output DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files] DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories] DUMP: estimated 36 tape blocks. DUMP: dumping (Pass III) [directories] DUMP: dumping (Pass IV) [regular files] DUMP: DUMP: 35 tape blocks DUMP: finished in less than a second DUMP: level 1 dump on Thu Oct 6 16:16:50 2005 DUMP: DUMP IS DONE expected next file 24550, got 819 3. I remove the file and do another level 1 dump and restore. This doesn't work. frem# rm /hello frem# dump 1auLf - / | ( restore -rf - ) DUMP: Date of this level 1 dump: Thu Oct 6 16:17:08 2005 DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: Thu Oct 6 16:16:17 2005 DUMP: Dumping snapshot of /dev/ad0s1a (/) to standard output DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files] DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories] DUMP: estimated 35 tape blocks. DUMP: dumping (Pass III) [directories] DUMP: dumping (Pass IV) [regular files] DUMP: DUMP: 34 tape blocks DUMP: finished in less than a second DUMP: level 1 dump on Thu Oct 6 16:17:08 2005 DUMP: DUMP IS DONE Incremental tape too high 4. If I then touch another file, this still doesn't work. frem# touch /hello2 frem# dump 1auLf - / | ( restore -rf - ) DUMP: Date of this level 1 dump: Thu Oct 6 16:24:51 2005 DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: Thu Oct 6 16:23:50 2005 DUMP: Dumping snapshot of /dev/ad0s1a (/) to standard output DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files] DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories] DUMP: estimated 37 tape blocks. DUMP: dumping (Pass III) [directories] DUMP: dumping (Pass IV) [regular files] DUMP: DUMP: 36 tape blocks DUMP: finished in less than a second DUMP: level 1 dump on Thu Oct 6 16:24:51 2005 DUMP: DUMP IS DONE Incremental tape too high How can I go about achieving this (ignoring rsync, etc), Thanks, Frem. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
