[flexbackup-help] Pb restoring from an afio-gz backup

[arakeis <ar...@fr...>]

here are my backup files :

I've got a certain file listed in "files-to-restore.lst"

when trying :
flexbackup -extract export-sambaraid-samba_x.0.200302131322.afio-gz
-files files-to-restore.lst

here is the output :

|------------------------------------------------------------
| Checking 'buffer' on this machine... Ok
| Checking /bin/sh on this machine... bash2
|------------------------------------------------------------

not found
(like "-list file.tar.bz2")
Died at /usr/bin/flexbackup line 2897.

I checked that ulimit was not on the way : it is set to "unlimited"
both afio and buffer where rebuilded from the sources on the site
so I'm a bit lost ...

does anyone see's what is wrong ???
what should be the command line to extrat with afio ?

thanks,

Arnaud

That looks very strange at first glance. 

First try just listing the archive rather than extract.

Also try giving a full path to the archive file, although you shouldn't
need to.  (Perhaps the backup dir is automounted or something and it has a
timing issue?)

That error basically only pops out if "(-f <file>)" and 
"(-f <backupdir>/<file>)" both fail, so it's not a complex test.  Stick 
some printf debugs in the code maybe...?


Below is a log from me doing just about the same thing you were trying:
  - list a level 9 afio backup I just created
  - make a one-line file with a filename
  - extract that file using the above filelist

Not sure what you have going on...

Ok, I tried the list argument on my backup file, it failed like before
with a file not found (but the file is there as you can see on my
previous mail)
BUT
if I tried the list arg on a smaller file, it works OK...

???

Strange.  Perhaps your perl is compiled strangely / is not happy with
large files is the only thing I can think of? 

Try:

  perl -e 'print "found" if ( -f "/path/to/file")';

for both archives.

That's basically all its doing.  Don't at all understand why you'd get a
problem...

That was it !  My perl 5.06 didn't see large files, a small upgrade
and it works ... well sort of, I still have pb to restaure files with
spaces in their names but I'm digging !
