How I ended up trying rft0 I'll *never* know, but... Anyway, since (as you know from my address mapping post) this box has a "wt" drive, I tried that with different results. # dump -0af /dev/rwt0 /var DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Wed May 6 14:51:54 1998 DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch DUMP: Dumping /dev/rwd0s1e (/var) to /dev/rwt0 DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files] DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories] DUMP: estimated 552 tape blocks. (at this point the drive seeks, prolly to BOT) DUMP: Cannot open output "/dev/rwt0". DUMP: Do you want to retry the open?: ("yes" or "no") n DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted. # I have tried the *all* of the rwt devices with the same results.. J.A.
