[Dump-devel] sparc rpms

[Rob C. <ce...@ah...>]

Hiya,

The rpms are built.  The sparc dumps them fine (via tape on i386), but the
i386 can't read them.  The sparc restore reads the tape dump fine.

Just some notes:  It looks like the x86 machine tries to do the right
thing, but doesn't :) Something to add to the TODO list?  I should be able
to restore to both platforms (including alpha?) seamlessly -- at least
text documents.  I don't expect sparc executables to run on the x86 :)

On the i386, this is what restore shows:

[root@snow /root]# restore ivf /dev/nst0
Verify tape and initialize maps
Tape block size is 32
Note: Doing Byte swapping
Dump   date: Tue Feb  1 20:35:07 2000

Extract directories from tape

restore > ls
