vzrestore bad tar file

[carlosmp]

Hi,

I had to replace our proxmox box over the weekend and was able to restore 10/11 machines with vzrestore. Only one is generating the following error:

host35:/usr/src# vzrestore vzdump-openvz-109-2011_10_07-03_29_41.tar 209

Assuming that hte only problems are with the two listed log files, is there any way to bypass those and force the restore to continue?

Thanks,

Carlos.

You can try to manually extract file using 'tar'.

I was able to extract manually, and got similar errors. I found the 109.conf.destroyed file as well as the vps.conf file in the extracted tar. Can I simply move that file to the /etc/vz/conf directory, rename it and extract the tar to /var/lib/vz/private/109 and start the server?

Thanks

yes
