Hi,

I have a SUN V880 running Solaris 9 and I have a HP LTO 2 tape drive. When the
tape drive was first installed, I could not see it from the OS, i.e. no
entries were created in /dev/rmt. WE then applied the following patches:
113277-24
SUNWqusu
SUNWqus
SUNWqusux
SUNWqusx
112706-03
and now I see the tape drive. When I do a cpio backup of the database, I
constantly get the above error message for specific database files. There
error messages come up for the same files everytime. These "error" files are
between 680 bytes and 2.1 GB in size. There are other database files of 1.9GB
in size that are backed up without any errors. The cpio backup is done as a
follows:

TAPE=/dev/rmt/0
find / -name "*" -print | /usr/xpg4/bin/grep -v -E "$excl_list" | cpio -ov -C
102400 -H ustar > $TAPE

These "error" files are regular files and not links or anything else.

I have done searches in Sunsolve, Google and HP ITRC without any success.Does
anyone have any idea what the problem is? Perhaps an entry in st.conf or a
patch and if so, what exactly is it?

Kind Regards,
Vinesh Dhevcharran
