Dear folks,

After running FreeBSD for a couple of years in what was basically a 
sandbox, I recently put several machines into production and am now 
enjoying all of the privileges and problems that go along with such a move!

I've checked the archives but haven't found anything that sounds quite like 
this. I am attempting to get backups working on a fileserver running Samba 
on 4.3-Release with a custom kernel. This is a dual-PPro machine using 
vinum to stripe data over 7 physical disks. Full dmesg is at the end of 
this message.

When I try to do a dump, it seems to run fine for a short period and then 
fails. I initially thought it may have been dump choking on the striped 
vinum volume for some reason, but it also fails on /, which is not part of 
the concatenated plex and resides entirely on a single disk. I have tried 
various command line arguments in an attempt to find something that works, 
but haven't had any luck. I have tried:

dump -0af /dev/sa0 /mnt/mainvol
dump -0a /dev/da0s1a
dump -0a -f - /dev/da0s1a | gzip -9v > /dev/sa0

and probably a few other variations over the past few days, all with 
similar results. This is what I see on the terminal when trying 'dump -0a 
/dev/vinum/mainvol'

When I attempted to pipe it through gzip, it ran for a time and then 
terminated with a broken pipe, followed by more errors like the above.

I have tried 3 different tapes with similar results. Am I looking at some 
kind of problem with the tape drive? Have I failed to do something to 
prepare the tapes for use by dump? Is it an Idiot Operator error? (The most 
likely cause!)

Any advice would be welcome. Thank you!

	Matt
