here is my former email ( to linux-il ), with some changes:
running the command:
dump 1usf 208333 sun2:/dev/nrst3
on linux 2.0.32, RH5.0 (installed over RH4.2) Intel Pentium MMX,
i get:
DUMP: Date of this level 1 dump: Wed Feb 4 23:59:12
1998
DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: Tue Feb 3 23:59:11

i get a lot of lines (handreds) of :
DUMP: bread: lseek fails
i ran e2fsck , but there was nothing wrong with my fs
notes:
when i do : rsh sun1 ufsdump 1usf 208333 sun2:/dev/nrst3
or : rsh sun2 ufsdump
1usf 208333 /dev/nrst3
everything works o.k.
the backup tape is a scsi dds2 dat tape (4MB)
it is installed on sun2 ( both suns are ultra1 170e, solaris 2.5.1)
it heppens on each and every one of my 10 cassetes
any ideas ?
Thanks
Erez.
