I am playing on about two weeks with tar on /dev/st0 but still not managed to do a successfull backup. I use DDS-3 tapes (12/24 GB). The problem seems to be (I guess) that somehow the system (mt?) cannot see when the tape ends, and it tries to continue copying data, ending in an input/output error. I managed to take a backup once, using also multiple volumes mode, but it only finished without errors by specifying file sizes with the -L option and giving file chunk

Also affects distribution/package Nominate for series Bug Description Binary package hint: tar Ubuntu 6.10/AMD64 on Tyan Thunder K8W with an Adaptec Ultra160 PCI SCSI Card and a Freecom (HP) DAT72 output error Tape Deck. Hardware ID of the deck is /dev/st0 If I attempt a backup using, for example, the syntax tar cvfz /dev/st0 /home/ytene/data I am rewarded with a spooling tape drive and a scrolling display of files being written to the tape. So far so good. However, if I try and catalog the tape - or restore from it, using the syntax tar tvf /dev/st0 or tar xvf /dev/st0 all that I get for input output error my trouble is the following error message : root@voyager:/home/ytene# tar tvf /dev/st0 tar: /dev/st0: Cannot read: Input/output error tar: At beginning of tape, quitting now tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now root@voyager:/home/ytene# I did some basic trawling around and came upon the following reference:- http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/f...er/021514.html [forgive the fact that this is a bsd site and not specifically linux related - I think the tools are largely common] and I tried to follow the suggestions given there, but without success. These failures seem to be 100% consistent and repeatable. I have tried to erase the tape back to "new" state, by using mt -f /dev/st0 erase which, for 72Gb tapes, takes an age! However, this makes no difference. I have tried brand new tapes, with the same results. As a final check, I have rebooted this machine into WindowsXP and tried to use NTBackup to prove the tape hardware. This works perfectly. I am therefore pretty confident that my hardware and tape media are all OK. What's really puzzling/frustrating to me is that I am *sure* I've had this working before. Maybe not on 6.10, but almost certainly on 6.04 or 5.10. Obviously slightly concerned as my ubuntu machine is where I do all my serious work... so would like to have a reliably working backup solution. I

Saving mail aliases .. .. done Saving mail and FTP users .. .. done Backing up mail and FTP user Cron jobs .. .. none to backup Copying Apache virtual host configuration .. .. done Copying Apache log files .. .. done Copying Logrotate configuration .. .. done Dumping MySQL database amnish .. .. done Backing up Webmin ACL files .. .. done Backing up AWstats configuration file .. .. done Creating backup of Mailman mailing lists .. .. no lists found Creating incremental TAR file of home directory .. .. TAR failed! cat: write error: No space left on device gzip: stdout: Broken pipe /bin/tar: -: Cannot write: Broken pipe /bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now Backing up Virtualmin settings (Module configuration, Server templates, New mailbox email messages, Custom fields, links and shells, Scheduled Virtualmin backups) .. .. done Backup failed! See the progress output above for the reason why. Total backup time was 23 minutes, 41 seconds Now, I'm pretty sure I have lots of free space on the disk (my site uses like 5gb and the disk is 250gb), I tried disabling quotas (totally) but the result is the same...any idea why this happens? Thanks in advance and have a good day! Log in or register to post comments #2 Fri, 08/14/2009 - 09:04 andreychek Howdy, By default, the tar command would be using /tmp in order to write the backups. Your tmp drive isn't by chance on a separate partition, is it? What output do you get when typing: df -h That'll show available space, as well as your partition layout. Thanks! -Eric Log in or register to post comments #3 Fri, 08/14/2009 - 10:45 Jbates Filesyste
