List-Id: XFS Filesystem from SGI List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; Format="flowed" Sender: xfs-bounces@oss.sgi.com Errors-To: xfs-bounces@oss.sgi.com To: xfs-oss I wanted to copy a file system to another partition. To get everything, I used xfsdump/restore with the "-J" option, which is stated to not update the online dump inventory. My dumps, since the 1st of the month have been working fine up to this morning -- They were levels 0,2,5,4,7,6,9,8,9,9 and this mornings was a '1'. It failed saying that the last level 0 dump upon which it was based had failed -- but AFAIK, that's not possible if the intermediate (2,5,4,7,6,9,8,9,9) dumps all worked. The only thing that couldl have thrown it off would have been my xfsdump/restore (a data copy) where both the dump and restore used the '-J' option (I encoded it in a script as: xfsdump -b 64k -l 0 -J -p 300 - "$1" | xfsrestore -b 64k -B -F -J - "$2" Do I misunderstand the function of the "-J" switch? Shouldn't my level '1' dump have ignored the "datacopy" dump I performed with the -J? Or was(is) there another option I should have(be) using? Is there any easy way to get my dumps back-on-track? I.e. to kick off a normal level-1 dump and have it be based on my June-1 lvl 0 dump? Thanks!
