I found an interesting thing. I'm doing a test run of dar - after kdar crashed I saw the command line it uses and it is not so difficult - and I then told it to use "par". I thought it was going to use "par", but no, to me surprise it uses par2: ... Adding file to archive: /usr/share/susehelp/mecreating PAR file for file /Grande/kdar/system_backup_10.2_20070509.2.dar ... par2cmdline version 0.4, Copyright (C) 2003 Peter Brian Clements. ... Block size: 585000 Source file count: 1 Source block count: 2000 Redundancy: 2% Recovery block count: 40 Recovery file count: 1 and it is the version I compiled, too. Curious! The dar command is told to use par via the option: -B /usr/share/doc/packages/dar/dar_par.dcf which runs that script at the end of each dar slice, I understand. It contains: # configuration file for dar to have Parchive integrated with DAR # to be passed to dar as argument of -B option # either directly on command line or throw $HOME/.darrc or /etc/darrc # files create: -E "/usr/share/doc/packages/dar/dar_par_create.duc %p %b %n %e %c 2" # 2 stands for 2% of redundancy # adjust it to your needs test: -R "/usr/share/doc/packages/dar/dar_par_test.duc %p %b %n %e %c" # note, that you may need to set the path to dar_par_test.duc # and dar_par_create.duc So, for creation it calls "/usr/share/doc/packages/dar/dar_par_create.duc", which in turn contains this: # change according to you need PAR=par2 I did not touch that, it is dated "2006-11-25". Funny that SuSE contains a script calling a program they do not supply. Maybe I'll bug the bugzilla chaps a bit ;-) (The par calling code is: exec $PAR c -r$6 -n1 "$1/$2.$3.$4" with the positional parameters being: <path> <basename> <slice number> <extension> <context(not used)> <redundancy ratio (%)> - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
