hello, I am having a problem with dump or my tape drive. I have a partition 2gig /usr that I am trying to backup onto an hp dat drive with a 2gb tape (4gb) compressed. however near the end of the backup about 77% I get a tape write error. and I am asked if I want to restart. if I say yes this continues over and over at 77% otherwise it aborts and I dont get all of my backup. I have a feeling that it is at the end of the tape and instead of the drive giving a end of medium it just spits out an error, therefore not giving me the chance to put in another tape. I tried using -s feet but my tapes say 90meter wich is about 968 feet but that says I will need like 156 tapes to do this backup which can't be right. I have an hp surestore 2000. any clues would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance. robert To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
