I'm running DOT 5.3D9. So am I doing something wrong, or is this just another example of bad documentation from NetApp?blacklodge: ~ [635] # grep test /net/bonnie/vol/fs0/etc/dumpdates /vol/fs0/home/test 1 Mon Jun 21 23:49:09 1999 /vol/fs0/home/test 0 Sat Jun 19 01:29:01 1999 blacklodge: ~ [636] # blacklodge: ~ [636] # blacklodge: ~ [636] # grep test /net/bonnie/vol/fs0/etc/dumpdates /vol/fs0/home/test 1 Mon Jun 21 23:49:09 1999 /vol/fs0/home/test 0 Sat Jun 19 01:29:01 1999 /vol/fs0/.snapshot/hourly.0/home/test 0 Tue Jun 22 08:00:54 1999 blacklodge: ~ [637] #
This looks odd to me. I just ran a test on one of our filers and did not see this behavior. To be fair, I was running 5.3, not 5.3D9, but I couldn't see a code difference between the two versions that would affect the /etc/dumpdates behavior.
(See below for what I tested)
Could you send the exact command sequence you used - version, dump command, etc...
I'm curious to see what we're doing differently... If nothing, then I'll try upgrading to 5.3D9 and see if I can reproduce it.
[your example deleted]
Hmmm... It seems to be _another_ NDMP bug. The first example I sent out was generated by running the dump from BudTool via NDMP. I can't login to the filer and test the dump command, it has no local tape. But if I rsh the dump to the filer I get the same results you did, as seen below.
I guess it's time to open a service call. And thanks for taking time to respond.
