Synopsis: rmt(8) remote magtape protocol State-Changed-From-To: suspended->closed State-Changed-By: kensmith State-Changed-When: Tue Dec 16 02:31:33 UTC 2008 State-Changed-Why: I verified using ufsdump from a Solaris-10 machine to a FreeBSD 7.1-RC1 machine with the target being a real tape drive works just fine. If the target is a plain file it doesn't work and generates the error as described in the second follow-up but rmt was designed to talk to tape drives. You're better off using the approach shown as what works in the second follow-up. For example even on systems where rmt does tolerate talking to a file the file needs to already exist, it won't create it for you. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=14946
