Date: 3 Jun 1994 21:26:30 GMT Organization: IBM AIX Technical Support, Kingston Lines: 27 Distribution: world Message-ID: <2so766$alo@mhvnews.kgn.ibm.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: bronson.kgn.ibm.com Hi all! I am having problem copying an 8mm tape on AIX to another 8mm tape. I used this dd command to copy dd if=/dev/rmt0 and of=/dev/rmt0, it appeared everything is working fine but after the command is completed, I tried listing the files using cpio -it </dev/rmt1, it gave me an error message saying that cpio: out of phase and then listed another error message and finally command ended with a core dump I also tried doing tcopy which copies from source tape to destination tape tcopy /dev/rmt0 /dev/rmt0 it gave me the same error message and core dumped when tried to list the files using cpio. By the way my original tape is in cpio format. Can somebody out there give help me on this. Please post your response to this newsgroup or mail to nreddy@bronson.kgn.ibm.co m. Thanks in Advance Narsi Reddy
