Subject: rrestore panics machine... HELP
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 92 11:38:48 MDT
From: Angela Thomas Hoynowski <angela@everest.tandem.com>
Status: RO
Conf: Sun 4/470 running 4.1.1b + patch 100261-02 (misaligned frames fix)
1 IPI controller w/ 1 disk
2 SCSI controllers w/ 7 disks
1 EXB-8200 tape drive
1 QIC-150 tape drive
1 CDROM
Problem:
The above machine (rushmore) panics with "psig action" when the
following command is executed on a remote machine:
rrestore ivsf 23 rushmore:/dev/nrst5
It panics as soon as the tape drive is touched. The funny thing
is that it does not panic if I do rrestore without the "s" option
or if the number of files skipped is small (I don't have the limit).
This happens with two different Exabyte drives. All local
operations worked just fine, including:
restore ivsf 23 /dev/nrst5
I have someone contacting Sun trying to figure out what the deal is,
but suspect it will take some time. If anyone else has seen this
behaviour and knows what is going on, I'd like to hear about it.
And the answer seems to be to apply patch 100280-02 (st jumbo patch). Now,
I don't know why Sun or Polaris couldn't tell me this Friday, but I'm glad
*someone* had the answer. I haven't had the opportunity to boot the new
kernel, yet, but feel certain this patch will fix the problem.
Thanks!
