UFSRESTORE WON'T DIE, I CAN'T BACK UP!

2007-12-25 9:48:00

Question was:

Environment is Solaris 2.4 Sparc 1000e.

I started a ufsrestore yesterday to test a suspect tape.

The session hung and now the process will not die. So I can't do a

backup of anything!

Answers: In my case, I rebooted after unsuccessfully trying to kill the

process.

i) The majority of people said that, in their experience, a reboot was how

they "fixed" this problem.

ii) Power-cycling the tape drive, repeatedly trying to kill the process

while the drive is both off and on.

iii) Also, loading a scratch tape into the drive and trying to bring the

device back online, in the hope the process will pick it up.

Thanks to the following for their advice:
