bluagh! how good is the -a switch on the dump command? I've got a 12/24GB Sony 4mm SCSI DAT drive, and was wondering if I had to enter all the density/length commands, or if the dump command would figure it out on it's own. Under Linux, we had no such luck, but my recollection is that the various *BSD operating systems are much better at it. Any suggestions? Is there any good place to find out all the parameters for a tape drive, should they be required. I, unfortunately, managed to misplace all the info for my current drive. Thanks! marc.
