Re: dump again
Thanks to all who sent me advice. I'm afraid I had already tried all
the things people had suggested, except trying to add the whole
directory instead of just the file I wanted to restore. (Thanks to Gary
Hennigan for suggesting that) That seemed to do the trick.
dragon:~/tmp# restore -i -v -f ~/prev/dragon.hda2.19980523.0
Verify tape and initialize maps
Tape block size is 32
Dump date: Sat May 23 03:44:19 1998
Dumped from: the epoch
Level 0 dump of /home on dragon:/dev/hda2

Extract requested files
You have not read any tapes yet.
Unless you know which volume your file(s) are on you should start
with the last volume and work towards the first.
Specify next volume #: 1
extract file ./bcwhite/longtmp/bug3847.html
extract file ./bcwhite/longtmp/bugs-mail
extract file ./bcwhite/longtmp/helicopter_info
extract file ./bcwhite/longtmp/make-heli-renders

extract file ./bcwhite/longtmp/heli_renders/64/heli_0_0001.tif

Create symbolic link

Add links
Set directory mode, owner, and times.
fopen: No such file or directory
cannot open mode file /tmp//rstmode895909459
directory mode, owner, and times not set
restore > q
dragon:~/tmp#
I tried it also a second time, adding the whole directory and then
removing the other files I didn't want to restore and it worked as well.
I think there is a bug here somewhere, as it seems likely that restore
should allow you to "add" a single file.
Thanks again to all who sent advice!
