Hi all.
I've been doing backups on a exabyte device using some home brew
scripts. So far no problems as long as you specify the block size.
I can save, list, and extract things with relative ease.
The confusion/problem I have is this: inside the script, I keep
track of the number of bru "files" I have written. But when I use
"mt -f /dev/nrexabyte fsf X"
I don't get to the "file" I want to list or extract. It seems
that the file I want is at about X*3 or so by mt's count of files.
(btw: **thank you** for the -L and -g option - how I figured it out).
Any hints? It's not a big problem, but it's something of a nuisance.
I write the files like so:
"mt -t /dev/nrexabyte feom ; bru -c -b 128k -f /dev/nrexabyte /usr"
This is on a Personal Iris 20G running IRIX 3.2.1.
Thanks.
