RESTORE(8)
MAINTENANCE COMMANDS
RESTORE(8)
FILES
It the dump extends over more than one tape, restore asks the user to change tapes.
If the
x
or I
key has been specified, restore also asks which volume the user wishes to mount. The fastest way
to extract a few files is to start with the last volume, and work towards the first volume.
There are numerous consistency checks that can be listed by restore. Most checks are self-
explanatory or can 'never happen'. Common errors are given below.
Converting to new file system format.
A dump tape created from the old file system ha; been loaded. It is automatically con-
verted to the new file system format.
<filename>: not round on tape
The specified file name was listed in the tape directory, but was not round on the tape.
This is caused by tape read errors while looking for the file, and rrom using a dump tape
created on an active file system.
expected next file <inumber>, got <inumber>
A file that was not listed in the directory showed up. This can occur when using a dump
tape created on an active file system.
Incremen tal tape too low
When doing incremental restore, a tape that was written berore the previous incremental
tape, or that has too Iowan incremental level has been loaded.
Incremen tal tape too high
When doing incremental restore, a tape that does not begin its coverage where the previous
incremental tape left off, or that has too high an incremental level has been loaded.
Tape read error while restoring <filename>
Tape read error while skipping over inode <inumber>
Tape read error while trying to resynchronize
A tape read error has occurred. It a file name is specified, then its contents are probably
partially wrong. If an inode is being skipped or the tape is trying to resynchronize, then no
extracted files have been corrupted, though files may not be tound on the tape.
resync restore, skipped <num> blocks
Arter a tape read error, re8tore may have to resynchronize itselt. This message lists the
number of blocks that were skipped over.
/dev /rmt? the default tape drive
/tmp/rstdir* file containing directories on the tape.
/tmp/rstmode* owner, mode, and time stamps for directories .
. /restoresymtab information passed between incremental restores.

BUGS
dump(8), newrs(8), mount(8), mkrs(8), rmt(8C)
Re8tore can get contused when doing incremental restores rrom dump tapes that were made on
active fHe systems.
A level zero dump must be done arter a full restore. Because restore runs in user mode, it has no
control over inode allocation; this means that re8tore re-positions the files, although it does
change their contents. Thus, a rull dump must be done to get a new set or directories reflecting
the new file positioDs, so that later incremental dumps will be correct.
