-On 2.1-stable, we just installed an HP C1533 SCSI 4mm dat. To test the -setup, I did a 'find / -depth -print|cpio -ovc > /dev/rst0' and then a 'cpio --it < /dev/rst0'. All looked great. However, I'd like to use the dump -command. So... I did a 'dump 0uf /dev/rst0 /' and all appears ok, but within -3 minutes or so it says 'mount volume 2'. This seems strange to me, as the -lowest capacity possible with the drive is 2gb and my entire hard drive is -1.6gb (I'm only using about 300mb). What am I doing wrong? Hi, you didn't told dump how large your tapes are. Look at the density, length and blocksize options of dump. I personally use the B option with the number of tape blocks (1KByte blocks). Something like dump u0Bf 100000 /dev/nrst0 / BTW, you know that you are using the auto-rewinding device, or ? ciao lutz --------------------------------------------------------------------- Lutz Albers | What's good ?
