Subject:   Good name for a dump(8) option?

Hiya,

i've implemented an option to dump(8) to bypass all tape length
considerations, and dump straight to the end-of-tape indication, as it
is probably most appropriate for all today's tape drives (due to
compression and/or multiple backups per volume).

How to name this kid?  Right now, i've picked key `e' (``end of
medium'', ``enforce end-of-medium''), lacking a better idea.  Are
there any better suggestions that don't conflict with other existing
keys?

cheers, J"org

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
