Has anyone else seen this type err from dump:
DUMP: 64.00% done, finished in 0:30
DUMP: write error 236530 blocks into volume 1
DUMP: fopen on /dev/tty fails: Device not configured
DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted.
This is the first time that this cron'd backup of /pub
and /home failed with dump, and it happened to be
co-incident with my cvsup upgrade to 2.2.7.
Last night I removed the StarOffice installation in
my /home/kline directory and reran the script. It
still aborted. Tonight I removed a few coredump files
and used tar successfully. Thereafter I ran the dump
script again and it succeeded. Around 100K blocks.
Should I be looking out for a bad tape; is my drive
(Archive 250MB qic ) going south; or was it simply
overful??
The fopen() error is _way_ confusing!
thanks for any insight here,
gary
