Hi folks,

I'm using cpio to make an archive that spans tapes. Everything seems fine during the backup; cpio prompts me for a new tape and then continues.

But when restoring, I cannot for the life of me get it to prompt for the second tape.

Backup command:

Code:

find . | cpio -ov -H crc > /dev/st0

And the restore command:

Code:

cpio -i --only-verify-crc < /dev/st0

It seems to go through the first tape just fine, but then cpio: read error: Input/output error at the end of the first tape... any clues?

J
