Have a question about dds3 tape drives... I have a SONY SDT-9000 and when I use this command "tar c backup/ --totals" I get this message when the backup contains around 11.4 GB of files, here is the message "Total Bytes written 10612029440 (9.9GB, 994Kb/s) tar:/dev/sa0: Wrote only 0 of 10240 bytes tar: error is not recoverable: exiting now" Was wondering why it's only going to 9.9 GB when the tapes are 12/24GB? I've tried 4 different (new) tapes and tried backing up 40GB of data ( which I knew it wouldn't backup the whole thing). The same thing happens, stops at the 9.9GB point. Any suggestions? Thanks, Brandon
