// Well, I know I'm asking a stupid question, but I'll do it anyways :
//
// I've installed a 4mm scsi tape drive(a Conner 4326NP) and then dumped my
// filesystems via the following script :
//
// /sbin/dump 0udf 61000 ganymede:/dev/nrst0 /
// /sbin/dump 0udf 61000 ganymede:/dev/nrst0 /usr
// /sbin/dump 0udf 61000 ganymede:/dev/nrst0 /var
// /sbin/dump 0udf 61000 ganymede:/dev/nrst0 /export/home
// /sbin/dump 0udf 61000 ganymede:/dev/rst0 /export/cache
How did you find 61000 as the tape density ?
Is this the right way to force a tape length ?
// This seems to work fine, however, when I do a "restore -if" to look at the
// tape, I can only see the first(/) filesystem I dumped.
// I'm doing an "mt -f /dev/rst0 fsf 1", etc. , to skip to the next dump-file
Try: mt -f /dev/nrst0 fsf 1

I use this here...
// on the tape, but I never get to the next dump. Does mt work on FreeBSD 2.1.5
// with my tape drive ? or am I misremembering how to skip to the next
// dump-file ? Admittedly its been several years since I was involved with
// system backup.
//
// TIA
