I'm looking for help.  I have a large partition of 300GB that
needs dumping to tape.  It reports back that it will take
several hundred hours.  It usually takes a couple days when
all is done.  Problem is there's also a 100GB partition on the
same machine that takes significantly less time to dump.  Has
anyone had experience with large file systems and dump?  Any
tweaks that can be recommended would be appreciated.


Thanks

Paul Orr
