I just plugged a borrowed-from-a-Sun 1/4" tape drive, and have a couple
questions:

(using a 6150 tape and archive viper ((known rougue??? huh?)))
-why does it break tar?  (tar czvf /dev/nrst0 /src/X11R6 segfaults..)

-pax works, but 84MB of my /usr/local fills most of the tape!

-dump works, but dump 0budfs 126 1000 /dev/rst0 700 /dev/sd0a
 wants to put it on two tapes! dump uf /dev/rst0 works.

-can I use any longer tapes reliably?

Most important is why tar bombs on this guy...
