Currently I have a tp link router with daisy chained Ethernet switches running to multiple roku and other devices, PCs, and a plex server
I want to upgrade my wired home internet, everything currently is just on 1gbps
I think I want to separate the wireless aspect from the networking, Ethernet part of my home network
What do I need to get a solid home network of wired connections with wireless ports
I made a series of lto4 tapes to back up files on a larger drive. Each tape was written with
tar -cvp \
--blocking-factor=2048 \
--no-recursion \
--files-from="$BATCH_LIST" \
-f - \
2>>"$LOG_FILE" \
| mbuffer --tapeaware -m 4G -L -P 80 -o "$TAPE_DEV" 2>>"$LOG_FILE"
However now I am completely unable to read from these tapes
Ive tried a variety of tar commands to extract or pull the files off these tapes to no avail. Tried using mbuffer or dd to pipe into tar, have tried buffer sizes all with no luck
The failures all eventually boil down to
tar: /dev/st0: Cannot read: Cannot allocate memory
tar: At beginning of tape, quitting now
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
I tried fsf 1 to move the block up, making sure it is fully rewound, trying different tapes to be sure it wasnt a unique error, various options on tar, and still nothing worked
I still have the initial data, so if I need to redo my tapes with a new write command theres no issues, I just dont understand what im missing
