I'm trying to backup a 4.1-RELEASE system to a : sa1: <HP C5683A C908> Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device sa1: 20.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 8, 16bit) (20/40G DAT) After about 370Meg, I get: Backing up the system... tar: Removing leading / from absolute path names in the archive. tar: Removing leading / from absolute links Total bytes written: 369643520 tar (child): can't write to /dev/rsa1 : Invalid argument I used ktrace to verify that it is the write system call to the tape that gets the error...
