Hi, |

Thought I would move this problem to a new thread. It may not be |
4 |
related to the DVD itself. This is what I am currently testing. I used |
5 |
Kbackup to create a tarball in my /backup directory. I have the most |
6 |
basic setup for Kbackup at the moment. It creates the tarball but does |
7 |
not compress the files themselves but creates a .tar file. I think it |
8 |
takes the files, places it in the tarball then compresses it or |
9 |
something. I'm not real sure how Kbackup does its thing. I have it set |
10 |
to create tarballs and the limit is 4.4Gbs. I set it just short of a |
11 |
full 4.7Gb. |
12 |
|
13 |
I then tried to untar the file to a directory to test if it will untar |
14 |
it or not. It failed. I guess you figured that since I am posting this |
15 |
problem. I'm just going to post info as I go along here. Feel free to |
16 |
ask for more if you need something else. This is the files that Kbackup |
17 |
generates: |

This is what I get when I try to untar the #1 tarball: |

I did not shorten that. It is the whole thing. It did not do much and |
41 |
that file is coming off the hard drive not a DVD. Also note, there is a |
42 |
huge list of files that are missing from that tarball. Basically, that |
43 |
tarball is about worthless. This is from the #2 tarball: |
44 |
|
45 |
root@smoker / # tar -xvf /backup/Data_2008.07.09-20.11.01_2.tar -C |

50 |

51 |
root@smoker / # |
52 |
|
53 |
I didn't see any other errors in the looong list of files. Also, it did |
54 |
untar a lot of files but I really don't know how to tell if it did them |
55 |
all or not. It appears they are all there but I'm not 100% sure. It |
56 |
certainly did better than the first tarball for sure. |
57 |
|
58 |
Since I didn't use a DVD at all in this process, is this a Kbackup |
59 |
problem or a tar problem? That is the only two programs I used so I |
60 |
assume it would be one of those two. Also note, I use ext3 on that |
61 |
partition. All my others are reiserfs but everything done was on ext3. |

That is the latest kernel that I can get to work correctly. 2.6.24-r8 |
80 |
makes KDE slow as leap year for some reason. No clue, just went back to |
81 |
what worked for me. |

Thoughts? Opinions? Suggestions? |
