Does the busy-indicator on the tape drive blink when frecover hangs?
If so, there might be some big files which need to be skipped (or even
read), before frecover gets to the wanted files.
It is probably best to first try to get a real list of contents from
the tape by doing:
/usr/sbin/frecover -r[m]vN -f /dev/rmt/... 2>/tmp/filelist
"N" does a pseudo restore, i.e. it will do everything *except* the
actual restore. "v" causes the names of the found files to be written to
standard error (hence the "2>...").
It is probably best to use the "m" option (report fast-search
markers), run the command in the background (add "&" at the end) and
monitor the output:
tail -f /tmp/filelist | more
Please report the results of these operations.
