When using the -v flag, bru adds the current volume
|
|
number to each verbosity message. This is most useful
|
|
for later reference to determine which volume of a
|
|
multi-volume set that a given file starts on.
|
|
|
|
Note that because the output is buffered, and because
|
|
the volume number is that of the last successful write,
|
|
the indicated volume number may be one less than the
|
|
actual volume when a file is processed near the end
|
|
of a volume during creation of an archive.
|
|
|
|
However, when reading an archive, the volume numbers
|
|
are always correct because the read occurs before the
|
|
verbosity message is created. Thus log files created
|
|
with a second pass over the archive, with either the
|
|
inspect mode (-i) or differences mode (-d), will always
|
|
have the correct volume numbers for all files.
|
|
|
|
The moral is, if you can live with an occasional misleading
|
|
volume numbers near volume boundries, the the output from
|
|
archive creation will be satisfactory. Otherwise, create the
|
|
log file during a second pass over the archive with either
|
|
the inspect mode (fastest) or the differences mode (somewhat
|
|
slower but more secure).
