Hi all,
I'm backing up a database server via tar over an
ethernet to a remote tape. Both servers are connected
to the same switch, 100mbit fdx. There is minimal
traffic except for the actual tar.
I'm running the command:
tar -cvpf . | rsh remotebox buffer -o /dev/tape
Tar version is GNU tar 1.13
The tar command randomly chokes, usually on large
files. Here's the output:
buffer (writer): write of data failed: Input/output
error bytes to write=10240, bytes written=-1, total
written
8070K
Broken pipe
Similiar problems occur if I use GNU tar's
user@host:file option.
Anyone know what's going on here and a possible fix?
Much appreciated.
Joe
