I have an external hard drive connected by eSATA; it looks like this: used free /dev/gpt/backup 451G 10G 405G 3% /backup However, when running dump this morning I got: /backup clean Disk mounted Using /backup/Mon Dumping to /backup/Mon/root DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Mon Jun 2 01:59:03 2014 DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch DUMP: Dumping snapshot of /dev/gpt/root (/) to 2014.Jun.2.root.dump DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files] DUMP: Cache 32 MB, blocksize = 65536 DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories] DUMP: estimated 1067897 tape blocks. DUMP: dumping (Pass III) [directories] DUMP: dumping (Pass IV) [regular files] DUMP: End of tape detected DUMP: Closing 2014.Jun.2.root.dump DUMP: Change Volumes: Mount volume #2 DUMP: fopen on /dev/tty fails: Device not configured DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted. (System = FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT #1 r264673: Sat Apr 19 09:43:10 EDT 2014 amd64 ) So ... trying to dump < 2 gybtes onto 405 free and "end of tape"? I'm confused. (I could reformat the disk, but I'd like to avoid that if possible.) Respectfully, Robert Huff
