The same problerm exists with DAT-Tape (but it worked previously. Harald I reported the identical problem in bug report 111279 http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111279 The status of this bug should be changed to CONFIRMED for users of Suse Pro 9.x, a workaround is to revert to an earlier version of kdeadmin3 - I got the rpm for kdeadmin3 v. 3.2.1-27.i586 (bundled with Suse Pro 9.1 and on CD #3) and installed it. The kdat version says 2.0.1 but *something* is different in this rpm since kdat does not limit the tape block size to 99 bytes. After reverting, I am ble to archive and restore as before (see my bug report 111279). The intallation does *not* seem to have broken anything else. During testing, I installed several *later* rpm versions of kdeadmin3 (eg - version numbers higher than 3.2.1-27.i586), none of which allowed kdat to have a blocksize > 99 bytes. Pick a mirror site from http://www.novell.com/products/linuxprofessional/downloads/ftp/int_mirrors.html to find the kdeadmin3 rpm version that will work. *** Bug 111279 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Created attachment 19512 [details]
Fix 99 limit in "Tape block size"
I put the max block size to 50000 because I don't know which value is the max.
The default block size in the code is 512*20 (10240) that is greater than 99. That make imposible to read tapes created with old versions of kdat and default block size. *** Bug 126782 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** fixed with revision 850245 |
