Hi,
I use command
tar -cf /dev/rmt/0n --label "my archive" -F changetapescript /mydir
to create archives, if tape reaches EOT, my tape library can insert another
tape to continue.
But when I try to extract it, i type
tar -xMvf /dev/rmt/0n /mydir
It began to extract, but when reach EOT, it shown IO error and exit, it didn't
ask me to insert a new tape.
Then i insert a new tape, type
tar -xMvf /dev/rmt/0n /mydir
It could not extract the first file, but said,
"can not extract filenamexxxx, it is continued from another volume"
and then contiue to extract other files.
What shall i do? My system crashed, the backup is so important!
Thanks.
