What were you trying to do?
run ufsrestore, restoring files from a tape drive on another machine.
Note: I don't think this has ever worked under Athena 8.2. It definitely
worked under athena 8.1, with the exact same setup.
What's wrong:
No processes are ever started on the remote machine (like /etc/rmt)
and no network connections are made (from netstat).
What should have happened:
I suspect it should have worked like documented... (and like it used to).
Note that ufsdump works correctly to write the tape, indicating that
the setup of the .rhosts files is ok (and they haven't changed in
several years), and the various processes that write the tape start
up ok.
To write the tape I use (for example on crypt):
ufsdump 0ufds keep:/dev/rmt/0cn 54000 130000 /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0
(this ufsdump part works fine)
To read it, I used to use
ufsrestore if keep:/dev/rmt/0cn
Now, this simply hangs, and nothing interesting happens on keep.
I *can* restore the files locally on keep, but this isn't ideal,
or practical when I need to restore a whole partition.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
man pages for rmt, ufsrestore, etc.
