Subject: help BACKUPS with TAR ?
Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org
Precedence: bulk

I have a scsi qic 3080 2gig tape backup unit, and while trying
to backup using tar cv / it runs for quite awhile but always seeems
to hang up the whole machine where a reboot is nessasary.

I also tried the same backup to a hard disk with the same results,
the disk is only 1.8 gig and only 46% being used, has anyone got an Idea
to what is going on here or how to fix it ?
