I am running a native 2 gig tape drive which is identified by FreeBSD as the Archive Python. All the mt commands work etc.. My problem is when I use the DUMP command to backup a files system I can only get about 30 megs on the tape and it says it is full. Is there a setting where I need to tell the system the size or length of tape?? What seems to be going on here? Thanks for any help!
