  Well, I know I'm asking a stupid question, but I'll do it anyways :

  I've installed a 4mm scsi tape drive(a Conner 4326NP) and then dumped my
filesystems via the following script :

 /sbin/dump 0udf 61000 ganymede:/dev/nrst0 /
/sbin/dump 0udf 61000 ganymede:/dev/nrst0 /usr
/sbin/dump 0udf 61000 ganymede:/dev/nrst0 /var
/sbin/dump 0udf 61000 ganymede:/dev/nrst0 /export/home
/sbin/dump 0udf 61000 ganymede:/dev/rst0 /export/cache

This seems to work fine, however, when I do a "restore -if" to look at the
tape, I can only see the first(/) filesystem I dumped.
I'm doing an "mt -f /dev/rst0 fsf 1", etc. , to skip to the next dump-file
on the tape, but I never get to the next dump. Does mt work on FreeBSD 2.1.5
with my tape drive ? or am I misremembering how to skip to the next
dump-file ? Admittedly its been several years since I was involved with
system backup.

TIA

Mark
