I am running Solaris 2.5.1 on a SPARC 20. When I do a "ufsrestore", it
requests a volume number and when I put in 1 (because there is only one
tape) it keeps requesting for Volume #'s over and over again and will
not proceed further.When I do "ufsrestore" with the "t" option, it lists
all the files in the media, as expected, but it will not let me restore,
because of this "volume" problem.
Any ideas?

Did you try using a zero for the volume number?

I perform a two step process when using ufsrestore. The first step I mount
the tape at a specific FSF point.
#mt -f /dev/rmt/0bn fsf x
where the x identifies the point where the tape drive must position itself.
This value I store in a file whenever I perform backups.
Then I run ufsrestore as follow:
ufsrestore -ivf /dev/rmt/0bn
I too get prompted for the volume, but have no problem proceeding.Quote:>ls

I don't know what could be the cause of your problem. I did aQuote:>I am running Solaris 2.5.1 on a SPARC 20. When I do a "ufsrestore", it

1. SunOS 5.4 fails to ufsrestore from one volume on two tapes
A ufsdump we made ran out of space on one tape, prompted us for
a second tape and finished the dump on that tape. Now, we want
to restore from these tapes but we cannot retrieve any files
from the second tape.
What we've tried:
As best as we can tell both tapes contain parts of volume 1 of
the backup. Attempts to retrieve volume 2 from the second tape
result in an error message telling us that the tape contains
volume 1.
When run on the second tape, both "ufsrestore xv ." and
"ufsrestore rv" complain that they can't find "." (i.e., the
root directory of the disk) and then proceed to find no files.
Those commands when run on the first tape retrieve the files on
the first tape but insist on looking for more files on volume
2. We cannot persuade ufsrestore to look to a second tape that
is also volume 1.
Has anyone encountered this problem before? What can be done?
Thanks!!
