Subject: Backing up a tape
Date: 16 Dec 92 21:03:02 GMT
Organization: Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal
X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.1 PL6]



I would like to know how I can back up a 150Mb tape if I don't have
that space available on my drive.

I tried to use dd iteratively but my A3070 rewinds automatically the
tape when I get to reinsert it, so I loose the current location.

I know that dd can be asked to skip a number of blocks before starting
to transfer but I can't figure out how to compute the actual location.
Should I sum the previously transfered blocks _and_ the partially
transfered blocks (0+285+1406+... or 0+1+285+1+1406+1+...)?

I script that could make a multi-pass backup and that could take the
allowed space as an argument would be welcome.

Thanks.

That *must* be the wrong number.  The A3070 drive (with the speed-up
ROMs) streams better than my Viper (in most cases, but not all) and my
Viper will do 5.1M/min when it's running full-bore.

My 2.1 tape, dated 3/25/92, is a DC6250 tape (as indicated by the
printing on the back of the cartridge).

Maybe someone can help me w/a problem I have compiling gcc-2.3.1.

After doing a "configure" for the amiga-unix, I did a "make" w/no arg's and
got the following:

	Internal compiler error: Program cc1obj got fatal signal 11
	*** Error code 1 (bu21)

when the following was being compiled:

Can anyone tell me what happened and more importantly, how to overcome this
problem.

Yarbles!

Why would you want to fool around with Postgres???

I used it for half a semester and got sick of its un-robust
implementation. there are TONS of bugs. I can probably send 'em to you if
you want.

I actually did try installing it once, but could not get the shared memory
stuff to compile properly, (this was waaaay back almost a year ago)

Write your own rdb. it'll probably be better then postgres! :)

good luck.

Date: 16 Dec 92 15:24:12 GMT
Organization: UNIX International, Parsippany, NJ  07054


Does anyone out there recognise this symptom and know a cure??

I have a .twmrc file with the following lines in the MENU section of the 
file:

Menu "WindowOps" {
        "WindowOps"     f.title
        "top"           f.raise
        "bottom"        f.lower
        "focus"         f.focus
        "iconify"       f.iconify
        "move"          f.move
        "resize"        f.resize
        "delete"        f.destroy
        "new OL"        !"olterm &"
	"new XT"	!"xterm &"
        "xemacs"        !"/usr/public/bin/xemacs &"
        "reset twm"     f.restart
}

This is bound to button three.  I can successfully launch olterm and emacs
with no problem.  However, xterm will not, no way, no how, start.

Frustrated, 'cos this ought to be simple I changed the xterm entry to:

 "new XT"        !"echo '/home/md/bin/mxterm' | /usr/bin/ksh > /tmp/zzz 2>&1 &"

to try and figure out what's going wrong.  The output from this is:

xterm: Error 14, errno 22: Invalid argument

Which I think means can't open /dev/tty 'cos open() fails with EINVAL.
Now according to the man page for open, it doesn't set errno to EINVAL
at all...

At this point I gave up figuring that someone cleverer than me has probably
already worked out what to do here.

Although I suppose I could use olterm, I would rather use xterm if I can
make it work.  So if you know how to fix this problem, please let me know.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

Mark.

I have the same problem, and I suspect I know what's causing it.  If
you switch back to your login console screen using the Alt-Esc screen
menu, you should be seeing the xterm startup error there too.

I haven't the time to fix it yet, but here's how I get around it in the
mean time:

	1)  Startup X with xinit, which launches tvtwm normally from
	    my .xinitrc.
	2)  Exit tvtwm (I added an "Exit" entry on the tvtwm menu.)
	3)  At this point, X should still be running without a window
	    manager, but with the login xterm window showing.
	4)  Restart tvtwm from the login xterm with "tvtwm &".

At this point, you should be able to launch xterm as you would expect.
You could probably comment out the launching of tvtwm from .xinitrc and
just start it manually from the login xterm.

The problem, I suspect, is the faulty emulated BSD library supplied
by AT&T, aka. USL.  xterm was rather heavy on BSDisms.  Fixing the BSD
library and recompiling xterm might fix the problem.  Meanwhile, I use
the above procedure, which seems to work.  Occasionally, even the login
xterm won't startup and I have to kill the server and restart.

If anyone has a real solution to the problem, please post!

	So is the rest of SVR4... I know. I ported the signal component
to a non-UNIX OS as part of our UNIX emulation library. Workable yes,
do-able yes, painful to port YES. Mind you that USL is shifting to a object
orientated design, with C++ as a possible systems language some point
in the future ( from my ATT OS internals class ). Done as modules, the
changes are clustered in a few routines, it's finding the locations to
change that's difficult.

	Fine. Not any bigger problem than serial/video card or tape drive

	I agree, see previous postings. But we as a user communitee have more
time and more incentive to try this chore than CBM does. I'd take a crack
at it, but my skills are not in graphics, they're in process scheduling,
tuning, security, utilities ... that kind of rot.

	Could be, but hardware tweekers do seem to do amazing stuff with
plain 'ol ADos or a naked machine, why not here? Given a single-threaded
nature of the device driver ( contention-wise ), some things not legal under
ADos might be legal here. Of course sticking to whatever guidelines are
available should be done....

	Yes, conceded point. But why not make ECS/AGA capabilities available,
especially since I recall being told that a native Color-X would be
done (long ago). Besides, not everyone has buckets of cash, they might
need some for memory/disk. Slow color may have a niche in this market,
why not exploit it? Could serve as a teaser to inspire someone to get
a separate card/monitor/desk-to-hold-it/power-substation-to-run-it-all. ;-)

Here's a few lines for your .kermrc file.  This allows you to
type 'rz' at the Kermit command line and have everything work
happily.  You'll need the just-released version of C-kermit or
one of the many alphas/betas that led up to it.

You need to 1) be using a version of rz/sz before 3.0, or 2)
modify a later version to not force the file transfer to
'/dev/tty'.  Older versions of rz fail on my '386 SVR4 system by
default, but if you define HOWMANY to be less than 128, things
will work fine.

I haven't got a non-Unix box for calling out with at the moment;
this combo of Kermit and rz/sz works adequately for now.
The fancy Unix communications packages I've seen cannot keep up
with high-speed modems.

Yeah, and have you seen the latest price from MEI Micro Center, Inc?
The 6250 tapes (BASF if I recall correctly) are $18.97 each.  Damn

Maybe 3 MB/Min is the speed without the ROMs?
