	I'm running FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE.  This is the shell file I've used
to dump my disks since FreeBSD 2.x:

# dump 64k blocksize 2441406 1k blocks per 2.5Gb Exabyte 8200 tape
/sbin/dump 0ubBf 64 2441406 /dev/nrsa0 /
/sbin/dump 0ubBf 64 2441406 /dev/nrsa0 /var
/sbin/dump 0ubBf 64 2441406 /dev/rsa0 /usr

	Suddenly, under 4.2-RELEASE, it doesn't work.  The second dump gets
an error as soon as it tries to write to the tape, which should start a new
tape file after the first dump:

  DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Mon May  7 20:33:18 2001
  DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
  DUMP: Dumping /dev/da0s2e (/var) to /dev/nsa0
  DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
  DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories]
  DUMP: estimated 8354 tape blocks on 0.00 tape(s).
  DUMP: dumping (Pass III) [directories]
  DUMP: write error 64 blocks into volume 1
  DUMP: Do you want to restart?: ("yes" or "no") no
  DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted.

	Can anybody tell me what the heck is going on here?  My / and /var
are so small that I'm going to waste 99% of two tapes, dumping one file
system per tape.
