I just downloaded the latest version of GNU cpio cpio-2.11.tar.gz from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/cpio/ I followed the INSTALL directions with ./configure, make, and make install. We’re running RHEL 54 x64 and cpio –-verison shows:
cpio (GNU cpio) 2.11
I’m doing some testing and ran the following to backups some files to tape:
usr/bin/find u02/oradata/PPRD -name "*PPRD*.*"|cpio -oav -H newc -C 65536 -O /dev/nst0
The command appears to succeed but when I try to get a directory from the tape I get partway through the list and then get
address@hidden /]# cpio –ivt –H newc -C 65536 < /dev/st0
rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 52429312 Oct 2 10:39 u02/oradata/PPRD/redoPPRD01.log
….
-rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 2147491840 Oct 2 10:39 u02/oradata/PPRD/devlPPRD01.dbf
Segmentation fault
The device I’m backing up to is an attached HP LT04 drive. I’ve been Googling for answers and trying different options but can’t seem to read my tape cleanly so I’m not sure if this is a bug or if I’ve done something wrong. Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thank you.
