remote ufsdump over ssh2

[imix]

Hello all,

I just was trying to do a Tape backup from one of them that does not have DLT (bot of them have ssh2).

ServerA
does not has DLT
ssh2

ServerB
has DLT
ssh2

I was looking arround internet and could find something that help me, but... just with small file systems (I´m not shure)

-I did this :

ServerA:root> ssh root@ServerB -n 'ufsdump 0ufc - /' | dd bs=1024 of=/dev/rmt/0cn
DUMP: Writing 63 Kilobyte records
DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Wed Feb 11 14:08:22 2004
DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
DUMP: Dumping /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 (ServerB:/) to standard output.
DUMP: Mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
DUMP: Mapping (Pass II) [directories]
DUMP: Estimated 99006 blocks (48.34MB).
DUMP: Dumping (Pass III) [directories]
DUMP: Dumping (Pass IV) [regular files]

- So, i tried to look what was doing (I mean if was writing toward DLT)

ServerA:root> ps -ef |grep dd
root 28361 28358 0 14:08:15 pts/3 0:00 dd bs=1024 of=/dev/rmt/0cn

- I did a truss over that process and... what was my surprise... was sleeping ??????

ServerA:root> truss -p -v all 28361
read(3, 0x00026000, 1024) (sleeping...)



Any Idea ???, or suggestion ????
