hi all, im running into issues backing things up with tar directly to /dev/sa0.
here's a clip of the mail i get from my backup script:

--
I used a command of /bin/sh -c  '/usr/bin/tar --totals --exclude /usr/local/nfs
 -cf /dev/sa0 /var /etc /usr/local /root  2>&1' to archive everything
Here's what it told me:
/usr/bin/tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
/usr/bin/tar: /var/run/log: socket ignored
/usr/bin/tar: /var/run/printer: socket ignored
/usr/bin/tar: /usr/local/share/sqwebmail/var/authdaemon/socket: socket ignored
/usr/bin/tar: /usr/local/www/logs/gcache: socket ignored
Total bytes written: 1664460800 (1.6GB, 426kB/s)
/usr/bin/tar: /dev/sa0: Wrote only 0 of 10240 bytes
/usr/bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
--

i found an archive dating back to 3.2 which exhibits the same problem, and attributes it to the sa driver: http://bim.bsn.com/~jhs/src/bsd/fixes/FreeBSD/gnats/kern/12062

im wondering if anyone else has run into this problem? the tar file on the tape finds an 'Unexpected EOF in archive' and gives up, on what im guessing to be the last file.

uname -a:
FreeBSD doc.chasma.net 4.6-STABLE FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE #1: Fri Aug 23 19:37:18 GMT 2002     tom@doc.chasma.net:/usr/local/nfs/obj/usr/local/nfs/src/sys/doc  i386

any ideas? let me know if you need some more info.

thanks,

-tom
