  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
