Re: SHOULD NOT GET HERE!

It's interesting that 33152 is exactly 384 (256 + 128) bytes beyond the end
of the largest block that the code could have used until yesterday,
 (and only then with my changes to mr_popup_and_get_string() which I'll
append here right now).

starting at line 768 of newt-specific.c:

	b_res = newtRunForm(myForm);
	//
	// if it worked ok allocate a new char array to hold the result
	// and copy the result to it
	//
	if (b_res != b_2) {
		out = malloc(1 + strlen(entry_value));
		strcpy(out, entry_value);
	}

	newtPopHelpLine();
	newtFormDestroy(myForm);
	newtPopWindow();
	mr_free(blurb);

	return(out);
}

The run you were looking at was using a tape block size of 65536 which
actually was large enough to get the tape streaming (32k is way too small).

Humm.

Never seen that.

>What's the problem likely to be?

Problem handling the tape of course, but not sure waht. 

>PS are any of the mondorescue folk watching this or am I talking to myself?

I'm reading most of the e-mail but hadn't had time to work on MondoRescue
since one month at least :-( My job is taking most of my work and free time
these days.
I'll start digging into unanswered ones asap, including yours.

However, if you try tape + iSCSI there is a high probability it fails as
you're the first to do it !
I've had some success with SCSI attached tapes, including OBDR for which I
added support years ago.
However, I think you try to do stuff that have not been experimented before
(but I read very rapidlyyour previous mails sorry for that).

Best regards,
bruno.
