I an trying to install
/updates/photon/runtime/Released/phrt1.14.tar.F through the QNX network. (I
have a local copy of it on my QNX file server.) Each time it dies on
/etc/backdrops/1024x768/moon.bmp
When it dies pax simply says,
pax: Ready for volume 2
pax: Type “go” when ready to proceed or "quit to abort.
This happens to be a large file but other than that there’s nothing special
about it. I can read the archive through the network, I just can’t read it
AND install it at the same time.
Also, there are no network errors being logged on either the server or the
client system. Pax isn’t reporting an error either. It simply thinks the
archive continues somewhere else.
What can make pax think it his an EOF in the archive?
Hi Bill,
I have found a similiar problem loading updates over the network. We
have qnx2 and qnx4 systems on the same arcnet. On the server does the
following work
melt -c </updates/photon/runtime/Released/phrt1.14.tar.F | pax -v | less
If this does not work then the volume is probably corrupt. If it does work, then the volume is being corrupted while being transferred over the network.

Yes, I had already tried that and it did work. (I thought I said that.)
Anyway, I knew the archive was OK because it has worked from so many other
hosts.
I ended up swapping out the ethernet card. Now it works fine.
I’m still curious why:
- it always dies at the exact same spot (tried it 5 times)
- there was no report of an error by the net driver on either CPU
