[Dump-users] Problems restoring on FC6

[Peter V. <pe...@wn...>]

Hi,

I have many DDS4 dump tapes created on Redhat 9 (dump 0.4b36) and
have no problem restoring to the same RH9 computer or even to a
different computer running FC2.

I have just built a new computer with FC6 (dump/restore version 0.4b41) 
and am having limited success restoring tapes to this computer
that were created on my RH9 computer.

Some tapes restore fine but most do not and fail with :

"Tape read error while skipping over inode 17008
continue? [yn] "

and the following in dmesg : "st0: Current: sense key: Medium Error
    Additional sense: Sequential positioning error"

Or I get a "Tape read error on first record" message.

Are there any differences between the versions of dump/restore on
RH9 and FC6 that could account for this ?


Thanks,

Peter
